Piggyback-ing off this, has anyone read T. E. Lawrence's translation? I've only seen the meme about how shit Emily Wilson is that had the opening, but it seemed much more flowery/prose based. I have a copy of the Samuel Butler translation in a set of "Great Books of the Western World" but didn't love his Illiad.
