Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is a collection of essays by acclaimed classicist and translator Emily Wilson, exploring how ancient literature continues to influence and speak to the modern world.Wilson examines what happens when ancient texts are translated for new audiences, asking what translators gain, lose and change when they bring words across languages, cultures and thousands of years. Drawing on her own experience translating Homer's The Odyssey and The Iliad, she offers an insightful look at the choices and challenges involved in translating classical works.

The essays move between the ancient and modern worlds, discussing subjects including Helen of Troy, Homer, Athenian comedy, Roman engagement with Greek culture, slavery, Han Kang's novels and even Cardi B. The result is a wide-ranging exploration of how literature is continually reinterpreted and renewed.
