The introduction alone is a good reason to start this translation. I haven’t started to actual epic yet, so I might switch to Emily Wilson’s later.

I switched from the Lombardo translation to the Fagles translation. It was more true to the Greek and it speaks to me better than the (simpler) Lombardo. I have also tried the Lattimore, Fitzgerald and Wilson’s translation. Wilson was terrible “He was a friendless man (1.19)”, Lattimore didn’t flow. Fitzgerald and Fagles went shoulder to shoulder but I preferred Fagles’ prose and footnotes.
