Updating a Translation of the Iliad

We just launched Bite-Size Edits as a stand-alone site, a bare-bones collaborative editing engine (see here for a bit of detail). We’ll be adding more features back in, and some really exciting new ones. It’ll be a brand new way for readers, writers and editors to engage with each other.

In the mean time, we want your help in making a free, public domain modern translation of Homer’s Iliad. It’s easy to help out. Just follow this link, and update a sentence or two to more modern English:

Oh, and feel free to spread the word. You know, Twitter, Facebook, that kind of thing.

Thoughts and feedback are welcome, of course!

    I am a little sad that there is no way for me to edit random anonymous sentences and/or allow random anonymous people to edit mine.

    Hi natalief, Thanks for the post … tell me more…I’m curious about what you mean exactly … I’ll send you an email & see if I can better understand what you’re thinking of.
