Fagles uses contemporary phrasing and "smooth" verse that makes it read like a dumbed down prose rendition.
Lattimore is terse but accurate
Fitzgerald is more poetic
Pope is a poetic reinterpretation in couplet that is part of the english canon in it's right
Chapman is kind of a meme because of Keats
There are screencaps of Lattimore, Pope, Fagles and Butler (prose so disregard) ITT
