What's the best Homer translation to read for someone who plans on rereading Joyce's Ulysses immediately after?
>>25264275joyce consulted multiple translations but mostly used butler's prose translation published in 1900the homer parallels in joyce are mostly structural scaffolding, once you've got the general picture you're goodjust read whatever's easiest for you + whatever you can get your hands on easily"ohhh ohhhh waaaaa ohhhhh muh accuracy ohhhh waaaa muh fidelity to the greek waaaaaaa" you can't read ancient greek, neither could joyce, use butler's + whatever else you want, it's fine
>>25264285i've already read homer and joyce but it's been over a decade. dont care about accuracy, just curious what the most compatible or palatable pairing is. if you say butler, i'll consider butler.
