I have Robert Fagles' translations of Homer, too. Extremely vivid, and fast-moving, except for all the lists :-).

I'll have to read those. The Oddyssy is one of my most favorite stores. I pull it out and reread it every few years. I must admit, I particularly like the climax.

Three of my favorites!
The ILLIAD
The ODDESY
The AENEAD by Virgil! I am glad Augustus did not carry out Virgil's death wish!
