not the best translation, it gets so many things wrong. But the story stands tall, un-blemishable.

I did not expect this text to be so digestible. when you stop thinking about it as a historical document and take it for a story that it is, it turns into this beautiful instance of an all-consuming love and grief of losing it and that's right up my alley

This translation is supposed to be natural, but sometimes it does ridiculous things like "all big and bigly" and "all huge and hugely." Would definitely look for a different translation next time through.

I didn't like either of these translations. The stories themselves were probably better than I experienced them to be, but some of the choices made to tell them were weird and rambly when they likely didn't need to be. A prose translation is really probably not the best way to read either of these epics.
