Which version should I read? I am old. Have never read it.

The most cited go-to is Lattimore. Its fine, for me.

I used Fagle with the kids as it was new at the time and was just sitting there in the bookstore. Smooth reading.

Look around and you should be able to compare snatches of text.

Lattimore’s more academic, Fagle is a more exciting read. At least so my daughter says. I’m fond of Lattimore.
