Do you want the most widely read among academics and undergrad university students?

Do you want to read the translation where you are least likely to get pleb filtered?

I’m reading Pope, I got used to his style after the first few pages and I think his is worth reading. Read lattimore if you read pope and have no idea what’s going on, his is essentially prose, but if you want accuracy to the original Greek then go for Pope.

Not a terrible substitute for Pope but the Pope/Chapman Iliad/Odyssey combo is the best

Top lad. His Odyssey felt lacking, though. Perhaps it’s simply the Odyssey itself that’s lacking.

The Odyssey is widely regarded as the better of the two.

The whole point in reading Pope is that he doesn't autistically go for "accuracy" and instead allows the myth and magic to breathe and be expressed in a form which the new language it is being rendered in actually fits well with

>> No.14412097

>>14412056
I don’t mean word for word accuracy, but the essence and musicality of the original. He doesn’t get too pretentious, trying to out do homer and he isn’t too plain in his language either, he tries to remain faithful to the feeling of the original text, unlike some of the contemporaries that try to turn it into prose.
