Painful. Another attempt to put the classics into “modern language”. “Butcher it with slang” is a more accurate description. It hurt to read.

Definitive translation. The Fitzgerald translation has been considered one of the best for nearly three decades. Why one reviewer would give it only two stars without even reading it is beyond me.

Dissatisfying Sample. Dear FSG, Publisher, I was considering purchasing this ebook of Fitzgerald's Iliad, but your sample did not include a single line from the actual text (though there were a few paragraphs scattered throughout the lengthy introduction), and so I have no way of evaluating the actual content of the work for its suitability to my taste. Note, I would not be buying this ebook for the introduction. While I could walk to a local bookstore or library to hunt for a physical copy of the translation, so I can determine whether the style is more readable than Lattimore's yet more accurate than Fagles's, I thought you ought to be made aware of how difficult you've made it for me to gauge the value of your ebook. Regards, Dissatisfied Potential Customer P.S. Harper Collins' Lattimore translation of the Odyssey provides a generous sample of the first book in its "sample" of that e-publication.

Great. Best translation available.
