One Redditor used Claude, Gemini and GPT to translate the Iliad and Odyssey: 718 pages plus a 28-hour audiobook
PrinceMonocle · reddit · 2026-10-09
A Reddit user spent three months producing a complete AI-translated English edition of the Iliad and the Odyssey, plus an audiobook.
- Model stack: Mostly Claude (Sonnet 4.6), with Gemini 3.5 Flash and GPT-5.6 Sol; cover art concepts by Claude, images generated with Nano Banana 2 in Gemini.
- Scale: 718 pages (PDF 40 MB / 6 MB compressed), a nearly 28-hour audiobook (3 GB M4B or 1.5 GB MP3s), generated free in about a day.
- Author's stance: He asks readers to judge the translation on its merits, not its AI origins, and deliberately doesn't want "AI did this" to be the selling point.
- The main Claude session contributed a closing note calling the work a genuine three-month collaborative attempt to bring Homer into English.
- All files are downloadable via a Mega link in the post.
