      te lawrence translation of the odyssey is really beautiful. it's overwhelming how fricking soulful and honest it is, you may only be able to take it in small doses.

      I will look into this.

      Lattimore is the only correct answer

      Seconding.

      I think this is the version that I have. I will compare it with the ones suggested above.

      Peter Green got kicked off of list-servs in the 90s by evil roasties and writes nice verse. He also started his translations at 92.

      I do not know what that is.

      Homeric "verse" isn't poetry or even literature. These books are nothing but a record of oral training manuals on how to build boats and make smithing tongs[1]

      I do not remember him saying that it wasn't poetry with literature. Seems like a dumb take. I read preface to plato as well but I still consider homer to be a poet.
