Just read Fitzgerald's Iliad, do I stick with him for the Odyssey and Virgil's Aeneid?
I already have Shrewing's Odyssey is that good enough, or should I continue my faith in Fitzgerald?

Fitzgerald's Odyssey is excellent. Arguably better than his Iliad.

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into Charybdis.

I have yet to read Fitzgerald's translation of the Aeneid but Mandelbaum's left me in a daze for months.
It was rabid and exhilirating.
