Should I take this as a "no," or are you just shitposting?

Aight. Thanks f a m
The supplementary texts are always welcome but <Fitzgerald.
I don't know about the Odyssey, but my teacher assigned the Fagles translation of the "Iliad" and it was incredible.
I would suggest you just try reading a few lines for yourself and if you aren't satisfied, pick up the Lattimore translation of the Odyssey, which my teacher assigned for class.

Did your prof say why they chose the Lattimore version?
>>7714352
No, they were just on the reading list. Sorry.
fagles is fine for "starting with the greeks"
If you want art then read it in greek.

jesus christ. Fagles is only not the worst translation because prose translations exist.
