Will do.
Lisa,
You're right.
Anon...Bearing,<br /><br />Will do.<br /><br />Lisa,<br /><br />You're right.<br /><br />Anon,<br /><br />For the Illiad I think we'll try the new Caroline Alexander translation, if only because we just picked up a copy. I've long been a fan of Lattimore, but that's mostly because his translation seems to keep very close to the Greek and as a struggling Classics student I would find that kind of thing helpful. I generally don't recommend really old translations like Pope or Chapman because they layer on a strong period English feel which I don't think conveys the original well to the modern ear. <br /><br />Alexander does not have an Odyssey, so I'll probably let Eleanor read the first pages of Lattimore, Fagles, Lombardo and Fitzgerald and make her own pick.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-4042893165123627492016-09-20T15:27:46.518-04:002016-09-20T15:27:46.518-04:00Which translation of the Illiad and the Odyssey ar...Which translation of the Illiad and the Odyssey are you using, and whose would you recommend to an adult reader?
