"I'm rereading under the Herbert Jordan translation (OU Press, 2008), which uses a principle of one line of English for each line of Greek. Each line is then fairly loose, keeping an iambic pentameter where possible. The text is immediate and immersive so far. I plan to read a book a day." Aug 27, 2025 09:26AM
