Free Books

On the subject of free stuff, I saw this this past Saturday, on Avenue C:

Free books.

Oh look, The Iliad! Wait, it's the Robert Graves translation, by Penguin.

Penguin translations are the worst — look at that: they even misspelled Medea!

If East Villagers are going to spend money on Greek classics, they get the Richmond Lattimore translations, from the University of Chicago Press!
