This was a good translation, easy to read and follow. However, I did find the use of colloquism off putting and took me out of the time and  setting of the story. It goes without saying that the women are treated terribly in this story. Continually put down and then the ending....😬. I started to find Odyssey annoying towards the end as well with his constant lying and games. It was tiring to read!
