Are you translating from the original classical greek version? If not,
you will inevitably get a worse translation.

The concept of writing hexameter in lojban seems almost impossible,
especially since stress is part of the syntax.

I would start something like this:

doi fetcei .i ko tavla fi le nu la akiles cu fengu

I'm a beginner at lojban myself.
