The Odyssey again but for the first time in a long while. The Fagles translation. I tried reading the new Emily Wilson translation because it is supposed to be kind of feminist, but it was jarring. The language was too every day. I am kind of disappointed. I was predisposed to like it based on reviews. Plus I paid twenty bucks for it. Oh well. Maybe I'll try it again someday. I like Fagles though. Accessible but still poetic.
