Reveals what surely must have been the true spirit of Homer, as rip-roaring tales, but told with high ideals and fine language.
I’ve tried several translations, and this is the first time I’ve got past about 20% of the book. Unputdownable.
Hmm. Even though I have Emily Wilson set as the “current edition”, this review seems to show up against some other edition.
The translation I’m talking about here is that of Emily Wilson.
