Which ones should I cop If I like Lattimore's translation more, but the Fitzgerald's editions are way better?

I have the University Of Chicago Press edition of The Iliad, I'm not crazy about the cover art but as for the actual quality/durability of the book I'm satisfied with it. Fairly inexpensive as well.
Matthew Brooks
In all seriousness, is Fagles bad? I just picked up his translations of the Iliad and the Odyssey earlier today.

Are there any editions of Pope's translations that are in print and published by an actual book publisher and not some print-on-demand service?

No

It's like you never want to make it

Fagles is great, as is Fitzgerald, Lattimore, and others. Don't fall for the retardation here
Grayson Scott

>>>implying
IIRC there are some on amazon, but you may as well buy an older, used leatherbound copy if you're gonna read Pope. Or a clothbound one should be really cheap and still nice.

He made a somewhat funny post, then maybe one or two people sincerely responded "lol" at first; then some cringey redditor samefagged (I was in the thread near the beginning, the poster-to-post ratio you can see at the bottom was way out of proportion --- even now it's pathetically TWO-HUNDRED-FIFTY-SIX replies to NINETY FUCKING POSTERS) a bunch of responses to it, and then the new /reddlit/ faggots here decided to keep responding to it to make a new meme.

This might be the "so bad it's good" of literature
