The weird (strange lol) thing is that in the spanish translation, they translated one scene when the girls describe him as "extraño" (Strange). In English they translated that scene as "Peculiar". In the original she said "Bizarre". In Spanish tho, the title name is "El extranjero" (the foreign) while in English it was translated as "the Stranger"

Stranger is foreigner just different language root. In early modern English, like the kj Bible, it means foreigner

Which translation is that? It seems better than Pope's which /lit/ claims is great:

>The suitors were slaughtered, in other words killed
>By Odysseus, known as the man many skill'd.

>You just finished reading Homer's Odyssey.

The original Greek has about 5 pages where they repeat "ODYSSEUS was lost at SEA" and gradually turn it into Odyssey.
