Beowulf in Old English! Wow! Sounds like a challenge, but maybe you're like me: those sorts of challenges are actually my idea of fun! And thanks for the reminder about The Iliad. I've had that on a TBR list for a long time, too. I've been working on memorizing a few lines here and there over the last couple of years and will continue to memorize another three or four every now and again. But for the sake of the challenge, I'll read the English translation!
Three words sum up Beowulf: Facing Page Translation. I'm going to be cheating a lot.
I still haven't decided between the Heaney or the Chickering translation though.
