For those interested in Classical Literature I found these two articles about a new translation of the Iliad. The translator is Stephen Mitchell. I really like what I have read so far. My favorite translation still remains Robert Fitzgerald's however.

You can read a review of it here:

There is a short interview with Mitchell here:
