Reviews
This book was required for a western literature course. my only complaint is there are no line numbers. it is considered poetry. when referencing for papers the instructor wanted line numbers. i got points off for that. other than that, i prefer the older English terminology and the use of the Greek names. i understand other translations use the roman names. the main thing i like about this version is it doesn't have 4 pages of someone's opinion of what 2 lines mean between each line. the reader is allowed to draw their own conclusions.It was also a nice surprise to find the librivox.org audio recording is the same version. being dyslexic it makes reading easier to hear it simultaneously.
