That's a bargain. I paid over $20 for it when it first came out!

I have and love Robert Fagles' hardbound "Iliad" and Christopher Logue's "War Music" and was looking for an ebook versions on Fictionwise last winter when I saw Fagles' "Odyssey" (I had tried unsuccessfully reading other translations on more than one occasion), bought it and just finished it a couple of weeks ago.
I just noticed via Wikipedia that he died last year. Don't know how I missed that, surely it would have been widely reported.
Obviously, I moved it ahead of "In Search of Lost Time!"
I just checked Fictionwise and Fagles' translation of "The Aeneid" for $3.54 club price w/their sale.
Marc, how did you get the italics to work?

You can:

• highlight the text you want to italicise, then hit the I button in the formatting options above the text input box
• highlight the text you want to italicise, then hit your CTRL button and your I button on your keyboard at the same time
• just wrap {i} and {/i} around the text you want to italicise (except use the square [] brackets rather than the {} brackets, which I've just used here so that you can see them, otherwise they would have just italicised the "and" between them )

Cheers,
