# Compare Translations: A Tool for Homer's Epics

The goal of this website is to help readers find the best English translation of Homer's *Iliad* and *Odyssey*.

The site works as an interactive tool. Users are presented with two anonymous, side-by-side passages from either the *Iliad* or the *Odyssey*. They vote on the version they prefer, and over time, this helps them discover which of the 24 available translators for each epic best matches their personal taste.
