Comment on Which Odyssey translation wins a blind reading test?

Comments

Fagles' translation of The Illiad worked best for me, but his translation of The Odyssey was very dry. I landed on Rieu's translation (I read Lattimore's too, but kept going back to Rieu.)

According to the test, I should read Fitzgerald if I ever do a reread.
