  1. I can’t help feeling mesmerized every time I “hear” a wonderfull poetry translation such as this one. In portuguese, when we have no idea about something, say a foreign language, we usually say “That’s greek to me!”.
    Well. No matter how the original text would sound if I was acquainted with the ancient greek language.
    This translation is a poem in itself.
    Thank you Mary Barnard.
    Thank you Biblioklept. (Once I used to steal books, by the way!)
