That's what I thought, thanks anon

I've never read Carson's translations, but I really like David West's.

I read Jim Powell's translation and enjoyed it. Then I came upon a webpage that listed many translations along with the original--I had no idea there were so many. Some of them seemed dreadful but I made a note to get Anne Carson's editon. Never got it but if she is endorsed on this board I'll try again. Can't seem to find that website again though.
