Finished the informative introduction to the Norton Critical Edition and Translators Note, all provide excellent context and familiarity before the poem.
I bought the Emily Wilson translation a while ago and am happy to be reading it now in company. Loved hearing that this particular translation is flying off the shelves currently. There is nothing like a Mary Beard recommendation with a Rebecca Solnit endorsement.
