Comment on The Claudyssey: A line-for-line translation of Homer's Odyssey by Claude Fable 5

This is a useful marker of progress in translation, not a replacement for literary translators.

Six years ago I fed Dante's Inferno to AWS translation. It was...not good[1]. Maybe its time to try again and see how things have changed.

Unfortunately it's just a mix of a few existing translations. Elsewhere there's an explanation showing this line by line.
