I'm not sure I could answer that fairly? One of my problems with Wilson is the thing she does for credibility, restraining herself to the same line count as Homer. But just Bloom's "strong misreadings" can be good, so can "weak" ones by the translators. All three are great and readable, and that's what I want in a translation.
she refuses to say sing vs tell
same line count as Homer? sounds like a lazy way to be original

I'm thrilled to share a new chapter in my journey! 🚀
I am excited to announce the launch of a strategic narrative focused on a high-performing leader who is skilled in all areas of competitive differentiation. This individual is a resilient wanderer who has been navigating complex market dynamics for years on end. Following a decisive pivot to capture key assets at the stronghold on the proud height of Troy, we are now aligned with a new mission to scale impact.
Grateful for this opportunity to reframe our story and drive growth. 💼✨ #Leadership #Strategy #GrowthMindset #Troy
Tell me which opening line sounds most credible:
Opening lines of the Odyssey
Robert Fitzgerald (1961)
Sing in me, Muse, and through me tell the story
of that man skilled in all ways of contending,
the wanderer, harried for years on end,
after he plundered the stronghold
on the proud height of Troy.
Robert Fagles (1996)
Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns
driven time and again off course, once he had plundered
the hallowed heights of Troy.
Emily Wilson (2017)
Tell me about a complicated man.
Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost
when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy…
