We had to read Fitzgerald's translations of The Odyssey and The Iliad. They weren't bad (to me). For the class, it was nice having the wording tightened up a bit.
But, afterwards, I read Lattimore's Odyssey and was intrigued by the various translations. Since then, I've picked up a couple more and have been passively looking for a Lombardo translation to pick up when we go out.
