I like the Iliad. Yes, everyone should read it at least once. I was embarrasingly free with a highlighter at the start of this book, sorry.

Received today from BCer ThanksMom as a RABCK. Thanks so much! I'm excited to read it after finishing The Odyssey recently.

Whew. I'm finally done. After several start and stops, I've completely read this book. I don't know why, but it was like torture getting through this. I really enjoyed The Odyssey, but this was an entirely different beast. First, I don't think I like this translator's (Richmond Lattimore) style as much as the Odyssey translation (Robert Fagel)that I read. And secondly, the story just isn't nearly as interesting to me. It's constant fighting and arguing and more fighting and long, long, long digressions about various things.

Anyway, I'm glad I read it if for no other reason than it's just one of those classics that should be read, but now I'm looking forward to reading something a little more fun! :)

RELEASE NOTES:

I left it on the shelves with all the olive oil. I thought that was appropriate given all the anoiting with olive oil that goes on in the book. :)
