    Robert Fagles brings the energy of contemporary language of this 2,700-year-old epic, while maintaining the drive and metric music of Homer's poetry, as well as the impact and nuance of Homer's mesmerizing repeated phrases.

    As a scholar, Fagles praises Homer's directness and simplicity, the breadth of his imagination, and the power of his song. As a translator, he brilliantly captures these very qualities.

    Sherrie Dunford says: "Outstanding in every way"
    "Not what it said it would be..."

    Any additional comments?

    The audiobook was marketed as "unabridged", but it was so cut up, that I missed whole chunks of the book as I listened to it. It is no where close to the actual book.
