Finished book 16, then decided to switch translations, to read the final third using Fagles’ text. I have read some of the criticisms of Wilson’s translation, and while I liked the iambic pentameter and found the simple language compelling, I was finding it hard to understand the character and motivation of Odysseus and his son. After switching, things did become more clear.
