I really cannot be asked to always read the poems! I wish there was something a bit more substantial such as a book or prose to read. Poems are:
– Hard to understand
Please help!
So I would recommend a translated Prose.
– if you’re asking for prose because for some reason you *need* it to be prose, the Martin Hammond translation looks good.
– if you’re asking for prose because you want something you can read easily, I recommend the Robert Fagles translation. Admittedly, it’s poetry. But I listened to the audiobook by Ian McKellen and didn’t realize it wasn’t a prose until I saw it in print. It was fun. It was good. It was very easy to understand, no uselessly complicated/stiff writing there.
