Read Fagles/Fitzgerald first, then attempt Pope.

Anyone who says it's not Homer have no clue.

Yes. He does translations of poetry right. Much better than the clueless scholars who try to translate it literally and so lose what makes the original work valuable in the first place.

This is a stupid criticism. None of the other translators are homer either.
