Poll question: Classic Translations
Do we have many fans of Iliad,Odyssey, Aeneid and other ancient classics here?

If so what translations do you own or regularly read? Did you make a conscious choice or just - like me - went with the one you found/where given - that you enjoyed and stuck with it? If you've read more than one what are your thoughts on the different styles?

I've no idea if I've covered enough Translators but I think these are the big names.

1. Heath's translation of Euclid's Elements pwns all....
Kemp Smith's translation of the First Critique might compete, I suppose.
