Which is a better translation of the Iliad? Fagles, Lattimore,

Pope.

Fagles is good and an easy read though.

>>8931591
I'll check out Pope. I was interested in Fagles because he has translated all three, the Odyssey, the Iliad, and the Aeneid.

What makes Pope stand out from the rest?

>>8931599

It's just that his mastery of the English language is superior. The others may be more faithful to the Greek, but the style is not as beautiful. Pope has also translated all three iirc.
But just take a look at passages from different translations and make your own judgement.

>>8931599
Pope is a poet and his translation of Homer is a work in and of itself. I would recommend him as a second read though, because he takes liberties with it.

My translation is by Ennis Rees, how fucked am I?

ok but idk why you fags are shitting up the entire board with this crap. This is not the thread for it. I am the most fervent detractor of feminism and other mental handicaps, but keep it where it belongs.

>>8931771
lol, I'm OP, and I started this thread wanting to know more about the best translations for these works.

Don't blame me for getting triggered when I wasn't the one who posted that gay feminist poem.

>>8931775

It's a satire project, it's not actual feminist poetry (though some of that is of course on that level or worse). Cf. >>8930199

>>8931777
Satire is getting too real for me in this decade. I don't know what is real anymore.

>>8931766
Why do you people insist on posting images like this when someone says you're samefagging? It's incredibly easy to fake and proves absolutely nothing aside from your being a retard.

Why do you care?
