"Tell me, O Muse, of that ingenious hero who traveled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. BEST of luck in finding what works best for your family at a reasonable price! Warmest regards, Lori D. To judge for yourself, below is a brief comparison (first 24 lines) from my two versions of The Odyssey (sorry, not The Iliad!). It's definitely a level above abridged retellings and maintains some of the poetic language, but is also not the entire original. It does retain a lot of the poetry, re-orders the story into a chronological narrative, and cuts out the lists. Fitzgerald $3.64 with FREE shipping, or $1 +$2.99 shippingĪnd, if none of those are an option, in response to your original question, my first exposure to The Odyssey (not the The Iliad) was Butler's poetic-prose retelling. Fagles $3.83 + $3.99 shipping - OR, just $.99 if you have Kindle. Fitzgerald from $.01 +$3.99 shipping - OR, for $2.64 with free shipping if you order $25 or more. Borrow/buy from a lcoal college student who just finished using their version? Your local used bookstores, Good Will stores, yard sales, library book sales? Any local homeschooler from whom you could borrow the translation of your choice?
What about using the Fagles or Fitzgerald by checking out of your local library?
