I Swear I Have This Written Down Somewhere

[ase]

Does anyone have recommendations for good translations of the Iliad and Odyssey? Edit: Why do you like those translations in particular?

Also, the accepted spelling is Iliad with one (not two) "l"s, right?

I liked the Fitzgerald translations. I have them. You're welcome to borrow them. I'm pretty sure we read either Fitzgerald or Fagles in high school. Avoid the Chapman translation. I'm not sure Pope is still in print, but he can be picked up pretty cheap on ebay the last time I looked.
