Lombardo's translation that was widely hated at the time for exactly the same reasons you are saying Wilson's is bad? This is such an unserious critique. Whatever the merits of her translation per se she's clearly deeply embedded in and aware of the history of translations of this work. I think you just picked the first translation that felt "high poetry" or w/e to a contemporary reader with no understanding of its historical context in this tradition.
