Merrill, because he not only puts it in Homer's meter, but he is very faithful besides. A joy to read

And keep in mind that in dactylic hexameter, you can use spondees as well as dactyls.

He, he's great. Good Iliad too. Very faithful to Homer and translates it in Homer's meter and is great reader on top of that. You can't really experience in English like in Greek, the languages are just too different, but Merrill's brilliance inspired me to start learning Homeric Greek, which I'm very happy about.

Merrill is both extremely faithful and translates in dactylic hexameter.

Just as against each other the east and the south winds wrangle
in the ravines of a mountain to set a deep forest to tossing,
shaking the oaks and the ash trees there, and the smooth-barked cornels,
which each one at the others are hurling their boughs with the sharp points,
raising a marvelous din and a clatter of shattering branches,
so the Achaians and Trojans against each other were leaping,
slaughtering; nor about ruinous panic was either side thinking.
