Review: Good stuff - Excellent blank verse translation. Close to the original, very readable. Emily Wilson's version is good too.
Review: Brilliantly read... by Gandalf - If you love The Odyssey then you should love this too. Fagles translation is a great read and this production is fabulous thanks to Ian McKellen. Some people say his voice tails off towards the end of each line and while sometimes that is true, it is hardly noticeable and is just part of how he is conveying the story. I had read it first and that makes it easier. But having this on in the car or while you are doing something around the house is absolutely brilliant. Definitely recommended.
