Fagles, Fitz, Lattimore. Your choice. Look up a comparison of the first verse of the first book of each and decide which reads most comfortably to you.

Read multiple translations you fat cunt. Lattimore, Fitz, Fagles, all are fine. I read the Odyssey twice this month.

In recorded western philosophical history before we could read hieroglyphics*
All philosophical greater western thought began with Plato yes, and he perfectly preserved Egyptian metaphysics, although in riddles—a gift and a curse by God.

I'm re-reading the Iliad right now, Fitzgerald tl. I've already read Hpmer but not Virgil so I'm thinking this month I'll go Iliad -> Aeneid > Odyssey.

What is the best writing style, from a literary point of view of course?

>Writing a novel and am torn between the operative and the descriptive.
> I think i have an operative bias: I just want to write a screenplay basically
>but then i think more and want to make pretty descriptions and insert poetic elements

does anyone else find this problem and what to do with it???

which authors/style have the best balance i guess?
