It's the latest translation (1992). The Gutenberg and other free sources only have the English translation from 1650 or so! Homer's 1990 (highly-regarded Fagle) translation of The Odyssey is available as an ebook, but not Fagle's 1998 translation of The Iliad. The only ebook translation of The Iliad is about 100 years old, available both free and for modest fees. No sense why one Fagle translation would be available and not the other, since both have (for their somewhat limited-interest subject matter) been top sellers.
