Your reaction to the tumblr post made me laugh and laugh. I've never actually seen that edition; I had a trade paperback with some kind of stylized Greek vase on it, I think. It's around here somewhere.
Lattimore is great when you have the rhythm of the Greek firmly in your head, as when you are using the Lattimore as a crib for impossible passages. But just to read in English, eeehhh, not so much.
