@dabbe as for your question, I have kind of an Odyssey problem! I love it so much I‘ve collected several translations over the years. I first studied the Fitzgerald in college, which is great but uses Ks instead of Cs (Kirke not Circe) and can be confusing. I think I read the Fagles the next time I studied it but I‘m not sure. I loved the Wilson translation because it gives a different perspective, and it‘s beautiful. Not sure I can pick just one!
ravenlee I forgot my graphic novel isn‘t in the picture, as kiddo used it for history this year. It‘s awesome, too.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The Odyssey: A Graphic Noveldabbe I read Fitzgerald for THE ILIAD in college, and the Ks about killed me. Read Fagles for both, but based on what you wrote, I want to give Wilson a try. I agree that the perspective would be extremely interesting. Thanks. 🤗 #odysseyproblem ... LOVE that! 🩵🤍🩵 13mo
ravenlee @dabbe I didn‘t mind the Fitzgerald so much that first time, because it was the first time! But trying to sort out who some of those people were later (the Phaikians really threw me!), that was a killer. I really liked the introduction Wilson wrote, though at the moment I can‘t recall specifics. 13mo
