Your translation is so much easier to understand than any other publication available. Even what we have read online has helped my son who is encountering this epic for his first time ever as a high school freshman.
Excellent translation, easy to read, wonderful entry to epic Greek poems.

Thank you so much for you e-text translations of Euripides and
Aristophanes. I am home schooling my children in Lima, Peru where we
cannot access English libraries. My daughter who is in tenth grade is
reading through the classic literature. The translations I found of
Euripides' 'The Bacchae' and Aristophanes' 'Peace', 'Birds',
and 'Frogs' were not very good. I thank you so much for
providing a much clearer translation in a format that we can access.

An adult Shakespeare Group . . . in Melbourne, Australia, of which I am
the tutor, sometimes, as a break from Shakespeare, looks at other major
dramas. Last year I was very keen that we should take on Aeschylus' "The
Oresteia Trilogy" but we had difficulty in finding a suitable
translation. Our Group . . . came across your translation on the
internet and was very taken with it. So it was downloaded and copied and
. . . read to great effect. A former Melbourne headmaster and also a
classicist followed the original text as we read and was full of
admiration for the translation.
