Title: Too good to pass up or put down!
Review: Wow! This is some Iliad. I read Richmond Lattimore's translation about thirty years ago and what mainly stuck in my mind were phrases like "rosy fingered dawn" and the "wine dark sea" etc., and my reading as whole had a feeling of cultural duty about it. Stanley Lombardo's translation is a different story. Since I bought it, I'm having a hard time putting it down. Reading this Iliad is truly reading for pleasure. If you've never read the Iliad, this translation is a great place to start. If you've read other Iliads before, don't ignore this one. It's a tremendous experience.
