Were those some babyish versions for semi-illiterate middle school students? Did Fagles and the other major translators write verses? <BR/><BR/>Does this mean I have to put these works back on the big list of important stuff to read? Are there audiobook versions that resemble prose and others that resemble poetry? Will the East Brunswick Library have both? <BR/><BR/>And what about Paul Michael Glaser? How does he feel about these translations? Was he involved in the production of Troy?Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360673541978885433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908331175444117446.post-85588967313790869402008-04-21T18:37:00.000-07:002008-04-21T18:37:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.adyateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18031975072885722383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3908331175444117446.post-8291430520045170742008-04-21T17:07:00.000-07:002008-04-21T17:07:00.000-07:00I guess I'd better be careful about what I say on ...I guess I'd better be careful about what I say on AIM from now on. Thanks for framing and editing my thought to make me seem coherent, and thanks again for the plug.<BR/><BR/>And, well, jeez, I bet teachers love that sort of caricaturing of American appetites and that anti-Hollywood rhetoric, especially when you follow it all up with something about the nobility of the Greek translator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
