Just finished the Iliad and I just need to read more of Homer's stuff, which is the best translation?

If you can read Spanish, go with Catedra.

He didn't translate the Odyssey. I'm thinking of going with Fagles, are there any major flaws with his translation?

Thanks but unfortunately I can't.

Try Chapman. He was a first-rate poet and devoted his life to Homer.

Don't touch TE Lawrence. His style is unbearable.

I liked the Fagles translation of the Iliad, I'm about to start the Odyssey by him as well.

Maybe you should recommend that he takes a look at Lawrence's translation in case he doesn't find it unbearable.
