More people should read Homer. I think many are put off by the verse and the length of the books, but a good translation overcomes those problems. I read the Robert Fitzgerald translation as a kid. It never brought me to Homer, unfortunately. I still can't read Greek. 😕
I once knew enough Greek to be dangerous, but I've long since lost even that skill. I feel certain I read Homer in school at some point, but I don't really remember it all that well. I should probably go back to him now as an adult.
