Madeline Miller grew up in New York City and Philadelphia, and studied classics at Brown University. She taught Latin and Greek at high school while writing The Song of Achilles, which took her ten years, and won the Orange Prize for fiction. Miller’s next novel, Circe, appeared in 2018: it was an instant no. 1 New York Times bestseller and is being adapted for TV by HBO Max. Miller’s novels have been translated into 25 languages and her essays have been published in the Guardian, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post.

Emily Wilson studied at Oxford and Yale and is now professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of books on Socrates, Seneca and ‘tragic overliving’, but is best known as a translator of Greek and Roman tragedy and the Homeric poems. Her version of The Odyssey was a New York Times notable book and shortlisted for the National Translation Award. Her translation of The Iliad appeared in 2023 to immediate acclaim. Wilson has received Guggenheim and MacArthur fellowships for her work on translating the classics, and has also been a judge for the Booker Prize.
