Interesting and boring at the same time. Glad to find out the names some authors picked for their books are originated from here.

La traducción está muy buena, se siente el pensamiento de Homero cuando lo escribió

I started reading it as an obligation. It was for my literature class back in Brazil, when I was a teen. It became one of my favorites books.It brought life as it was right before my eyes.

Other than the gruesome, violent images often presented in magnificent detail (hey, it is a war!), I really enjoy reading Homer's epic poem. Where else are we given such insight into stubborn Agamemnon, noble Hector, intelligent and well-spoken Odysseus, lazy and spineless Paris, guilt-ridden Helen, the wrath of the warrior Achille's and how vain he can be? We can identify with Trojan and Greek alike, agonizing with both sides over the destructiveness of war. We get the inside story on all the Greek and Trojan heroes and what makes them tick. And best of all, we get a behind-the-scenes, humorous look at the Greek gods; their strengths, weaknesses and all the squabbles and fuss that take place between them. The Iliad is really incomplete without The Odyssey, so I will be reading and reviewing that book as well.
