seamus heaney is amazing for translating this 4 stars bc it’s a classic and the warrior code themes are very clear. annotated every line on kindle so took me ages but it was so thematic!

It’s only Seamus Heaney who can make this readable

[Joseph Griffith · Rating 5 out of 5]

A bloody romp. Still trying to figure out the competing moral frameworks of fate and “God Almighty.”

[Andy Boroditsky · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting: unusual plot and digressions, men behaving in a grand style, very good essay of Seamus Heaney in the end.

Ancient classics, read not for fun but for overall education.

Quite a lexicon, brother!
