I got disillusioned when every new translation gets these breathy accolades about how it's some kind of revolutionary Happening.  There's only so much you can do w/ a translation, and the space seems pretty well covered to me at this point.  

It is kind of nice to re-read every few years with something new, I admit.

Yeah, I also looked into Chapman and was like, "man, Keats needed more options." :-)

Fitzgerald was my first Homer, and I like Lattimore, but am mostly partial to Fagles and Wilson these days (recency bias, I guess).
