Hmm, that's an interesting take I had not considered before. I can totally see where our modern sense of sexuality/morality could get in the way of some of Homer's subtler themes.

Although I'm very partial to Fitzgerald for the Odyssey and to Lattimore for the Iliad, I'm really looking forward to Wilson's translation.

I also love Fitzgerald's Odyssey. I tried Wilson's, and it just didn't sing at all, which really put me off.
