What is your opinion on using audio books for epic poetry such as Paradise Lost or the Odyssey?
Why do you care about my opinion? If that's the way you enjoy them, more power to you.

Too much of paradife loft will go over your head.
Odyssey is fine but I'd prefer reading it. It's not better because "thats how homer did it". That is a meme.
is ok i gues. You miss some of the beauty of the form though.

The only problem with it is it's hard to follow.
Listen to Pope's Iliad.

Fine, if it's in Greek. Otherwise don't bother.

What's the best Greek translation of paradise lost?

I think this is sort of okay to trade off as originally epics like the Odyssey were oratory readings, and anything put to word is transcribed and then translated by somebody else. Of course you can dig into the translator's form, but I'm just sayin'
