I'd love to have a properly read audio version of it, but I've not come across one. I'm hopeless at reading Greek poetry aloud - it's a skill all of its own. In order to be able to read it aloud, you need to be able to "scan" the hexameter verse and work out where the long and short syllables lie. I can scan Greek poetry on paper, but it takes me 5 minutes to do each line. My Greek isn't even close to good enough to be able to do it in "real time", which is what you need to be able to do to read it aloud.
