Christopher Nolan 執導的《乃德賽》電影引發了巨大的話題效應，其無處不在的宣傳活動正推動 Homer 原著史詩的銷量急劇攀升。Emily Wilson 於 2017 年出版的清晰流暢譯本對 Nolan 的改編產生了影響，並因此大為受益。據出版商 W. W. Norton & Company 表示，僅在今年上半年，該譯本的平裝版在北美的銷量就比去年全年高出 40%。自該書首次發行以來，所有版本在美國國內的累計銷量已突破一百萬冊。
在與獨立書店合作的線上零售平台 Bookshop.org 上，《奧德賽》在 7 月 17 日電影上映當週成為第二暢銷書籍。該網站創辦人兼執行長 Andy Hunter 指出，所有版本（包括 Wilson 譯本）的銷量與去年同期相比飆升了 1,420%。Bookshop 的 Instagram 頁面亦積極把握這一文化熱潮，發佈影片將《乃德賽》演員陣容的紅毯造型與各經典《奧德賽》封面進行配對，例如 Elliot Page 的棕色西裝搭配 Samuel Butler 的 Chartwell 精裝版，Tom Holland 的黑色西裝則呼應 Daniel Mendelsohn 由芝加哥大學出版社出版的 560 頁平裝本。
在加州 Danville 的 Rakestraw Books 書店，店主兼總經理 Michael Barnard 表示，過去 12 週內售出了 40 本 Wilson 的《奧德賽》譯本，而去年同期僅售出 6 本。在電影中飾演 Athena 的 Zendaya 到訪書店並與 Wilson 譯本合影後，銷售進一步攀升。該書店以 Madeline Miller 的《乃爾刻》和《阿基里斯之歌》等作品為主題的「希臘與羅馬」展示區同樣銷售亮眼。出版策略師 Kathleen Schmidt 指出，這樣一部轟動的好萊塢電影甚至能激發對古典文學感到畏懼的讀者購書，儘管他們是否會讀完則是另一回事。
Christopher Nolan's film *The Odyssey* has generated enormous buzz, and its ubiquitous press tour is driving extraordinary sales of Homer's epic poem. Emily Wilson's acclaimed 2017 translation, which influenced Nolan's adaptation, is reaping significant benefits. According to publisher W. W. Norton & Company, the paperback edition alone sold 40% more copies in North America in just the first six months of this year than in all of last year. Across all formats, domestic sales have now surpassed one million copies since the book's initial release.
On Bookshop.org, an online retailer partnering with independent bookstores, the *Odyssey* became the second-bestselling book during the week of the July 17 movie release. Sales of all editions, including Wilson's, surged 1,420% compared to the same week last year, according to founder and CEO Andy Hunter. Bookshop's Instagram page is actively capitalizing on the cultural moment, posting a video matching the film cast's red carpet looks with iconic *Odyssey* covers—Elliot Page's brown suit paired with Samuel Butler's Chartwell Deluxe Edition, and Tom Holland's black suit subtly echoing Daniel Mendelsohn's 560-page University of Chicago Press paperback.
At Rakestraw Books in Danville, California, owner and general manager Michael Barnard reported selling 40 copies of Wilson's *Odyssey* over the past 12 weeks, compared to just six last year. Sales accelerated after Zendaya, who plays Athena in the film, visited the store and posed with Wilson's translation. The store's "Greek and Roman" display, featuring works by Madeline Miller and other *Odyssey* translations, is also selling well. Publishing strategist Kathleen Schmidt noted that a splashy Hollywood release can inspire even readers intimidated by classic literature to purchase the book, though whether they finish it remains a different question.
