I asked them when the FUCK are they going to release the e-books of Rodney Merrill's translation of Homer

The reply I got was they didn't purchase the rights to the e-book, so they couldn't

REEEE

Rodney Merrill. He has no issue with the rights I don't think since he released the audiobooks narrates by himself for free. But I don't know how to contact him since he retired. He's currently working on the Aeneid. He also done the Oresteia and the Argonautica.

Why read Merrill instead of other translators?

Freedom of religion was a mistake.

Because his poetry is much more elegant and is more faithful. Uses high sounding language and writes in dactylic hexameter. He specifically translates Homer with the idea of how it sounds when read out loud, since he considers that more true to the Greek considerations
