First off I the paper copy of the Lattimore translation that I requested from my local library system came in. Trying that out I have to agree that it is the best written version of the four I have tried so far. So I have settled on that, even if though it has meant a double read of Books I-IV (repeating from the Pope translation).

The LibriVox web site was mentioned in another thread and so I was curious if The Iliad in audio version would be available for free there. The answer is yes.

The Samuel Butler Translation

The Theodore Alois Buckley Translation
