ICYMI, a great read. Amplifies my misgivings about the politics of the new Wilson translation, though admittedly I haven't read it yet (and although Kristol has some very complimentary words for it).https://twitter.com/SusanKristol/status/982251421805367296 …
I read an excerpt which I found thrilling & want to read the whole thing now. Thing is there are lots of other translations that are more cautious & literal (Lattimore for one) so I don't mind one that takes risks.

I've only read Fitzgerald and Fagles. I will read the Wilson one (some of the quotes sound great). I don't mind the non-literalism, but a conscious political agenda is another thing.
