Which translation of the Iliad should I ~~listen to~~? Right now I'm considering either Pope or Fagle. Problem with Pope is that I'm too much of a brainlet to follow the plot and pay attention to the beautiful poetry at the same time.

Fagle is recommended often here.

I was looking into getting Audiobook versions of Fagles'a translations for both The Iliad and The Oddesey, but I can find an unabridged Fagles of the former. This is on audible anyway.

Not OP, but I've already read them, and they were originally intended to be recited, obviously. If any book(s) should be heard aloud, it's Homer's
