I want to into Greek mythology, I assume the Iliad would be a good place to start? What are the main differences(if any) between the different tranlsations/publications and which would you fine chaps recommend?

Can any of you gents point me toward some fun/engaging modern epic poetry? Pale Fire comes kinda close but I've read that already.

I've got translations of The Iliad by Ennis Ress, E.V. Rieu, and Robert Fagles. Which one should I rather read?

I'm a big fan of epic poetry, having thoroughly enjoyed the classic Greek and Roman staples, but are there any modern epic poems worth a gander?

I'm sure if I went in a couple pages, I'd find it in furry, but whatever.
