One of the books of all time.

Better than the Iliad. Homer had a glow up fr.

Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because I'm too dumb to genuinely appreciate this work in it's fulness. I'll have to read a translation that preserves the poetic element of the piece, though I really do enjoy Butler's prose translation.

I wish I had read the Fagles or Wilson translation instead, but it seems like this captures the essence of the story.
