About to re-read this as an adult, what should I be hoping to gain out of it? Also, anything I should read beforehand? Using the Lattimore translation.

Just fucking read it for Gods sake stop being a pussy. You think anyone on this board has read more than one translation cover to cover and has a strong enough sense of Greek to argue one way or another? Get real, it's nothing but a bunch of posturing pseuds here. Theyll jump in and tell you "no you gotta use the X translation it's more faithful because of some retarded shit they read on a blog or heard from a graduate student teaching their introductory classical lit class.

Just fucking read it. If you run into something unfamiliar that you sense is important, Google it. Please, just read it.

Please come back when you're done and make a thread so you can encourage other rotten souls on this filthy decaying board to get off the computer and do a little reading of their own.
