Seeing a load of chat about The Odyssey - talk to me when you've finished Oxen of the Sun
A bit from the beginning of the chapter " And whiles they spake the door of the castle was opened and there nighed them a mickle noise as of many that sat there at meat. And there came against the place as they stood a young learningknight yclept Dixon. And the traveller Leopold was couth to him sithen it had happed that they had had ado each with other in the house of misericord where this learningknight lay by cause the traveller Leopold came there to be healed for he was sore wounded in his breast by a spear wherewith a horrible and dreadful dragon was smitten him for which he did do make a salve of volatile salt and chrism as much as he might suffice. And he said now that he should go into that castle for to make merry with them that were there. And the traveller Leopold said that he should go otherwhither for he was a man of cautels and a subtile. Also the lady was of his avis and repreved the learningknight though she trowed well that the traveller had said thing that was false for his subtility. But the learningknight would not hear say nay nor do her mandement ne have him in aught contrarious to his list and he said how it was a marvellous castle. And the traveller Leopold went into the castle for to rest him for a space being sore of limb after many marches environing in divers lands and sometime venery. "

And now it’s off to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, as you have never before considered the story. Plus, the best #footnotes yet.
Taken from the photo, but this gives you the sense of what the guest editor was up to. Sir Gawain Cleans The Green Knight's Patient Pearl' or: The Essential Gawain Poet Sithen the sege and the assaut was sesed at Troye, Ay was Arthur the hendest, as I haf herde telle. Kryst kydde hit Hymself in a carp onez, "Bigog, " quoth the grene knyght, "Sir Wel gay was this gome gered in grene Gawan, me lykes. • . That thou so stykes in garlande gay® And used hem unthryftyly echon on other. 1 The text of this edition has been standardized for pedagogical purposes, but, of course, has not been modernized. 2 These lines, when juxtaposed, as only the Essential Series has done, create the tone of romantic-epic dichotomy so much enjoyed during the Medieval period. For totally unrelated reading, see Joseph Fischer's Die Stabendelangzeile in Den Werken des Gawain-Dichters (Bonn, 1901) • 3 Christ's 'carp' is the Sermon on the Mount, in which eight Beautitudes are specified (Matt. 5: 1-11). For a more detailed exploration of Beautitudes, examine their treatment in the first section of the complete Patience, which, for obvious reasons, was not significant enough to be included in this edition. 4 It becomes obvious, at this point, of the 'special relationship developing between the Green Knight and Gawain. 5 This line needs no explanation. 6 Andrew and waldron, in The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript (Berkeley, 1979), state that 'garlande gay', previously thought to have metaphorically signified the heavenly procession paralleled in the usage of 'ghirlanda' in Paradisio X.91-3 and XII. 19-20, may actually signify the maiden's crown, "due to the fact that the 'corona' (crown) was commonly understood to stand for the circle of the blessed. . . ." But when placed in the context of the essential lines, 'garlande gay' adopts a much different, better, meaning. See the caveat in the earlier alt text, please. As perle bi the quite pese is of prys more, So is Gawayn, in god fayth® , bi other gay knyghts. Be noght so gryndel, godman, but go forth by wayes, That we gon gay in oure gere that grace he us sende, After the segge and the asaute was sesed at Troye, Iwysse, But on stroke here me fallez - And sayde "With my wyf I wene, Bot that my hede falle on the stonez, " And the knyght in the enker grene.1° 7 'pese' is the old singular form. 8 This is most assuredly a reference to Gawain's 'good faith' before he succumbs to the pleasures of the flesh and turns into a base, adulterous sex maniac. 9 'Gryndel' (fierce, angry) may be derived from OE 'Grendel' and ON 'grindill' (storm, wind). Then again, maybe not. 10 Most critics agree that the ribbon, or scarf, is the symbol of infidelity that is mirrored in the scar on Gawain's neck. But it seems more reasonable to assume that his infedelity does not stem from the Green Knight's wife, but from the Green Knight himself; both suffer similar wounds, and both sleep with the same women. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE ESSENTIAL GAWAIN POET "Awesome..•stupendous...incredible...unbelievable." --Time "Not your usual coffee table book." -The Atlantic "I didn't understand a word. Loved the footnotes--so tasteful." --Miss Manners "I was dazzled, thrilled, and delighta to realize this profession has such a promising young scholar in its midst. We've had the A-text, the B-text, the C-text, and, even, the X-text, but now, at last, we have the text." --Chaucer Review "Gastle makes Gawain and the Green Knight rise to the occasion." --Blueboy "At last, Methods Publishing presents a scholarly work of interest to people working in this most rewarding field. My only critique, the footnotes could have used footnotes." --Speculum

Here's that stanza (in spelling-modernized) Middle English:

There are a few tricky translation issues here ...
Then latches ho her leave, and leaves him there, For more mirth of that man might she not get. When she was gone, sir Gawain geres him soon, Rises, and riches him in array noble, Lays up the lovelace, the lady him ragt, Hid hit full holderly, where he hit eft fonde. Sithen chevely to the chapel choses he the way, Prevely approached to a priest, and prayed him there That he would list his lif, and learn him better, How his soul should be saved, when he should seye hethen. There he schrof him schirly, and showed his misdeeds, Of the more and the minne, and mercy beseeches, And of absolution he on the seg calls. And he absolved him surely, and sette him so clean, As doomsday should have been dight on the morn. And sithen he makes him as merry among the free ladies, With comely carols and all kinnes joy, As never he did but that day, to the dark night, with bliss. Each man had dainty there, Of him, and said, “Iwis, Thus merry he was never ere, Since he came hither, ere this.”

Once you get an ear for the Middle English though, it's absolutely beautiful work. There's something about it i just adore:
