>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 21 01:31:01 2015 No.6296307 >>6296305 You won't miss out on anything reading Fagles. I've never read Lattimore, but I'm assuming it would be a bit more poetical in language. Fagles is good for a first read.

>>	Anonymous Sat Mar 21 03:25:43 2015 No.6296478 >>6296305 Lattimore is the second best English next to Merrill's (which is a masterpiece of English, period), but if you aren't thoroughly familiar with the plot, characters and style, Fagles is worth starting with so you don't get confused.
