Show HN: Companion eBook for The Odyssey audiobook narrated by AI Michael Caine (github.com)

2 points by stoilms ↗ HN
I've been enjoying the Michael Caine voice clone narration of the Odyssey, but noticed it uses Greek names (Odysseus, Poseidon, Zeus), whereas the William Cullen Bryant translation ElevenLabs used as the basis for the audiobook uses the Roman names (Ulysses, Neptune, Jove).

I tried reading the WCB translation while listening, but it got so confusing I had a go at making a companion edition that matches the names in the narration.

It's free, non-commercial, and obviously not an official ElevenLabs product, just a fan attempt. Mostly for my own use, but thought I'd share in case it helps anyone else reading The Odyssey ahead of the Nolan film :)

So, the actual Sir Michael Caine has not given approval for the use of his voice? Seeing as how he's not dead yet, don't you think that it might be a good idea to ask if that is an allowable use of his voice?
