    Hello, all.
    I have loved both the Iliad and the Odyssey since I was a kid. I remember getting my first copy of the Iliad when I was in Middle School. That translation was done by Robert Fagles and I strongly recommend it, especially for your first reading. Now, as the years have passed, I have read several translations of both epics. My personal favourites are the ones by Fagles and the translations by Robert Fitzgerald. In some ways, I prefer Fitzgerald over Fagles as he sticks to the Greek more for how he depicts names.

    Does anyone have a personal favorite translation?

    My favourite one is by Richard Buxton. It is very simplified and does not try to make things excess complicated.
