I had tried to read The Odyssey quite a few times as a teenager, and even though I eventually got there in the end, I wish I had had Robert Fagles’ wonderful translation to read. It is a breath of fresh air compared to some of the older, stilted versions I had to endure. The poetry is excellent, as is the introductory essay. This is the translation to have.
