Thanks for that link! My classics teacher was always a stickler for specific translations . . . maintaining that if the trans. didn't come close to the meter and rhyme of the originals, that the best part of the story was lost. He used to read Homer's stuff to us in the original Greek and it was pretty amazing . . . musical oratory the way it was intended to be experienced (even if I didn't understand it).
