Tyler, I'd have to say that Fitzgerald's is the best translation of the Illiad. It has a grand and lyrical style that is lacking in the others.
I dunno. Meaning shuffled and elided for the sake of meter? Latimore's is closer to the original Greek.
Latimore is a soulless robot, and I know robots. The F-Man makes my heart pound and my soul sing.
Why don't you just marry him, you're so hot for the guy?
Let's put it this way: Would you rather I now say "Avaunt forthwith, knave, lest against thy brow I test my fist," or just "Go fuck yourself?"
Point.
