Book Ten - Marauding Through the Night

This is for sure I think my favourite chapter in the book

It felt so cool like I’m on a lil secret mission and we’re undercover and stuff so yeah this was so much fun and also it was a mission successful

Book Nine - The Embassy to Achilles

Agamemnon sounds like such a beast in my head I picture Akuma from street fighter (is that his name) when I think of him

Lots and lots and lots of wealth for Achilles but he is still aaaaangry

I wouldn’t be happy with this guy he is literally letting all these people die

Book Eight - The Tide of Battle Turns

I did not know Zeus was thaaaaat crazy strong, enough to beat everyone else all at once

Percy jackson made me think Poseidon and Hades are basically the same power level what is real what is fake my life is a lie

Book Seven - Ajax Duels with Hector

This is real fun. Just pause the whole massive war so we can 1v1

Omg this Nestor dude is really annoying me now. We get it uncs you’re old you wish you were young you were strong and cool and great and perfect when you were young and now you arent young we get it… how many times do you need to say that

Ajax seems cool

Book Six - Hector Returns to Troy

Is it really normal for these guys to be having full on loooooooooong conversations in the MIDDLE of murdering each other in the middle of full on WAR!?!?!

And also to be making friends with the person you’re literally trying to kill and giving each other gifts and saying nah ima go kill ur friends not u ur cool bro all bcoz our grandfathers knew each other thats kinda cute tho

This is where the famous ship catalogue is, really wasn’t as long as people say. Although I did kinda skim through it slightly…

Thersites really got put in his place, the clown, good riddance

Book One - The Rage of Achilles

They started off right in the action didn’t they just…
Very scary

Introduction - Achilles

Last part of the introduction finally. This guy really is the mc isnt he in fact I know his deal coz I already read his book but still

They love putting parts of the poem in the introduction seriously I basically know everything that’s gonna happen, in fact re-reading it makes more sense with some stuff but idk if I’m bothered to maybe one day in a few years

Introduction- The Gods

Introduction - The Trojans

Trojans are rich rich 🤑

I really can’t be bothered writing summaries anymore so yeah but I already started so I’ll write something and also I can see the chapters when I click on the view status updates thingy when I finish the book so that’s cool right

Troy is going down big time

Introduction - The Trojan War

Questioning the historicity of Homer’s Iliad. No attempt to gloss over the harsh realities of the work of killing, or to sentimentalize the pain and degradation of violent death. Death is the end.

The poem celebrates the heroic values war imposes, balancing the victor’s joy of battle and the suffering of the victim. Passages from the poem are used as examples to show these ideas.

Introduction - The Iliad

First part of the introduction talks about the history of The Iliad, of when it was written and its structure. It mentions various theories on how the epic was formed, its language and transmission.

Took me a while to get through this, I had to reread every sentence multiple times. And there’s another 40 pages left of the intro…but I’m probably gonna appreciate it after…probably…

Epilogue complete

We graduated Eng Lit! Mais, vrai, j’ai trop pleuré! Les aubes sont navrantes. Francis getting married!? Black Hole convo dies when she walks in 💀🥀 she just like me fr. Twins don’t talk anymore 💔. Dead appear to us in dreams because that’s the only way they can make us see them; what we see is a projection, beamed from a great distance, light shining at us from a dead star.

We have to stay at the Corcorans’ with all these randos how boring. Henry get your goshdarn headaches checked out that is not normal sir. Charles has lost his mind stealing a car and driving it hoodless in this rain! With rue my heart is laden 😔.

Cuniculus molestus. Bunny really is being such a nuisance isn’t he… he is being so very rude right now. Some people just talk too much eh. Mushrooms.

Metahemeralism. Bunny you silly goose. The twins’ parents died in a car accident 😢. Bro ain’t never seen a heater before 🥶. Omg Richard almost died. Isn’t Henry just such a great guy saving everyone’s life. Bunny has no money so crazy. What happened on this trip to Italy must be very important right. Why does it sound like Richard’s sending Bunny to be executed by Henry? 🫣
