Definitely. I’ve been seeking the translation of The Odyssey that I read in a doctor office parking lot while waiting I guess for my sister (it was her text from a college course). I’m pretty sure the version had “He had lived in many cities of men and learnt their mind”. The closest I’ve found (and I just spent 20 or more minutes hunting) was the Lattimore, which is the one I thought she had. OTOH, it seems like the Iliad translation was by one scholar and the Odyssey translation she was using was by another, and the Lattimore Iliad (1951) is still considered the best by many.
