Haven't read this in full since high school, so I'm listening to Claire Danes' narration of the Emily Wilson translation. So far, the Introduction is excellent. I really enjoyed rereading Beowulf (I recommend Maria Dahvana Headley's translation as a very current, very innovative option) recently, so I'm happy to revisit The Odyssey as well. And maybe I'll watch Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? to celebrate when I'm done :)

The Robert Fagles translation is so much better than the one I was forced to read in junior high. I listened to it with Ian McKellen narrating. I recommend it.
The Sirens can still be heard in Sorrento. Listen carefully...it is but a mere whisper now.
This is not the edition I read, but I can't find it on here. I LOVE this story.
