Homeric bros, did I frick up? By complete chance as this drama arises I ordered the Iliad and Odyssey a few weeks ago and am about to start, now I read the drama and everyone's all "Stragles, Fitzgerald, Lattimore" and I got Lombardo who no one's talking about.

Lombardo is a great first translation, it's clear and easy to understand without butchering the work. Stragles isn't as approachable, so is worth reading after Lombardo.
