But anon, that's not the Iliad.

Oh, poor friend. You fail to realize that unless we speak the original language, of a poem, so if you are a fellow English-speaker, you are incorrect.

Isn't that sentence missing something?

...yeah...Oh, poor friend. You fail to realize that unless we speak the original language, of a poem, we cannot fully appreciate the literature, so if you are a fellow English-speaker, you are incorrect....i apologize

Why do you need to appreciate something to the fullest to think it's the best?

The Voynich Manuscript
translated into Greek is The Iliad;
into Spanish, Quixote;
into Russian, Karamazov;
into French, Recherche;
into German, Faust;
into English, Moby-Dick;
into Arabic, 1,001 Nights;
into Italian, Inferno
into Hebrew, the Old Testament;
into Greek, the New Testament;

why don't you tell me why you think it's the best book because even though I'm really enjoying reading it, I don't understand what grants it that title in your eyes.

It's laden with existentialist ideas, among other things.

It is not it's own best if not fully appreciated, it might be amazing in it's original language, but I find it droll in English.

Inferno is overrated, but it is best of that language.

The flow. It may just be me, but once I finished it as a kid, I wanted so badly for it to become a T.V. show. It just seems so natural, and unlike most classic literature, it uses familiar language. Most of all, is message of the dangers of obsession. It spoke to me personally in that manor, and I'm sure it speaks to others with that problem as well.
