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]
1. J.R. Jorjani
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.

hmm i dunno
I don’t know many verse translations, most are stacked prose. Pope?
Isn't his in heroics? Would prefer dactyl
Caroline Alexander or Robert gayles for Verse.
Rieu for Prose.

>t. Brownoid Iranian who got filtered by book 2
Fitzgerald's Odyssey and Fitzgerald's or gayles Iliad.
Learn Greek
Rodney Merrill for his dactylic hexameter
Pope is the only one worth reading in English.
