Lorem Ipsum Irksome

I understand the reasons for Lorem Ipsum placeholder text, but I like using The Iliad anyway. You be the judge:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Mauris a nisi. Vestibulum a tortor quis diam dapibus pellentesque. Cras turpis risus, accumsan sed, porttitor eu, pulvinar eu, dolor. Sed ut justo. Aenean malesuada. Ut ac velit non libero varius ultrices. Sed consequat gravida magna. Curabitur eget orci sit amet dui convallis sagittis. Sed nec elit. Nunc lectus quam, fringilla vel, molestie quis, auctor ac, justo.

... or:

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another.

That's the opening paragraph of the Samuel Butler translation. A buddy of mine swears by the George Chapman translation, but I can't find it online anywhere.
