I think I've come across a modernized version of the Dryden translation somewhere, but it still wasn't as good as the penguin ones, and the Dryden translation I had was all in one massive volume that was a beast to hold while reading. I think the Oxford ones are usually the text books used if needed for a class, but I think that has more to do with the publisher than anything else, and the Oxford ones are missing quite a few lives and don't have as many footnotes. If your only concern is translation both penguin and Oxford are very good. I don't think there's any overlap, but it's possible a life or two appear in more than one volume (I'm not at home so can't check my shelf). Yeah, with all 6 penguin volumes you'd have all but one, which you could read online if you want. Instructions and advice on how to best do an AMA. Want to do an AMA or know someone who does?
