My wife had a copy of Heaney's translation that is now buried in a mountain of other books and furniture in a storage unit. If I can brave the underworldly hazard, I'll have to dig it out and read it for the first time.

I'm curious to see how your lens might colour my reading compared to hers; she has long lauded it as a favorite, and it's high time I took the hint.

I love this! I feel like St. Justin Martyr, whose apologetic included a lot of discussion about Christianity as fulfilling all of the best in paganism, would have gone crazy about your post if he were alive today. We need more people like you talking about these kinds of things because Christ is present in a lot more of—what's left of—our common cultural values than unbelievers realize.
