Which translations of this have you read and what did you think? I'm currently reading pic related, the Melville translation and I'm enjoying it so much that I'm getting a hardcover Mandelbaum translation also to compare them (and because I enjoyed Mandelbaum's Dante translation).

I read the version in OP
I enjoyed the heck out of it and laughed a lot but it's honestly just a series of skits and blank spaces in my memory because I have no grasp on who's who in Greek & Roman myth

Translation seemed fine (though I'm no expert) and the poem itself was an enjoyable creation myth of the present day strung together by bouts of screwball comedy. would reccomend (especially if you know shit about the greeks and romans!!)
