Lying Odysseus replied, “I will tell you the truth completely."

First time reading the odyssey in English, this translation using contemporary language really brings the narrative closer. There were elements I didn't remember and some passages really shine with this translation. 

Miss Claire Danes was also voice acting the hell out of the audiobook, the emotional parts were made even more so by her narration and the action bits were very thrilling.
