You could just learn Ancient Greek. You would get to read the most important poets, playwrights and philosophers in the language they originally wrote.

I would buy a scholarly edition with the Greek text on one page and a literal translation on the opposite.

If you don't want to do that, then read Chapman or Pope since they were both fine writers anyhow.

Also, whichever version you read, read Pope's translation after it.
