Audible.com has copies of readings of unabridged versions of The Odyssey. I may purchase one from them, but I wondered about the translations. That information wasn't always available. I asked Audible and they referred me to the publishers. I thought I would summarize what I found here (because I don't think Audible is interested in including this in their descriptions).
