The best one by far, IMHO, but speaking as a classicist, is Richard Lattimore's. If you can't read the Greek original (and, alas, those who can are an ever-shrinking minority), Lattimore's version is about as close as you can get to the "feel" of the original. It is available as an ebook. His "Odyssey" is also the best, in my view.
