This is the best translation of the Odyssey I've ever read (I've read 3). I really respect Emily Wilson's translation decisions. It made the boring parts of the Odyssey interesting and fast paced
Moderate: Death, Gore, Slavery, and Blood
Minor: Rape
Rape: it's mentioned the slave girls were raped, but doesn't go into details
