Easy flowing translation

Travel back in time for a little insight into the worldview & values of the ancient Greeks. Fickle meddlesome gods, male honour, rampant war and liberal violence, slavery & female subjugation. Easy flowing translation, though I sometimes lost the rhythm.

More fun than I expected

I really wish I had read this translation in school. It's a great translation that flows brilliantly and seems like it would perform well on a stage. Bravo!
