The Fitzgerald translation of the Odyssey is really fucking beautiful /lit/.
To think I'd almost given up because of the Alexander Pope version.
Any other greek stories where certain translations are miles above the rest?

Waterfield is a damn good translator imo. Not Greek, but Mandelbaum's Ovid's Metamorphoses is damn good.

Is that Vintage Publishing? I can't find it on Amazon in my country. What else did you discard?
>>
>>7620137
Pope didn't even write half of his Odyssey. It's shit.

Fitzgerald's Odyssey is a great work of art in English alone. His Aeneid is excellent as well (not so much his Iliad).

You can actually find it online for free though, if you don't mind reading off a screen/kindle.

there are super-awesome retells of quite a lot of greek mythology by this guy >>7620294

well, to bad he only did this in german but it kinda feels like reading a marvel-film albeit being very close to the source.

Good to know. I haven't read it yet, but I have his translation of Republic.
>>
>>7620229
Which parts didn't he write? I'm halfway through and loving it (more than the Iliad, in fact, although that probably makes me a pleb). But there was a brief bit where the poetry seemed to drop off and get kind of clunky.
