Just finished with the introduction, did skim read it but it was pretty fine. It talked about the themes of war & peace and nature of humanity, tragedy of Achilles and Hector and others. That similarity between Socrates and Achilles was actually so interesting, like wow! Yes it did drag on a bit and I was growing impatient to actually start the book, but it was a good introduction for sure.

Not much was done today actually, I read a couple pages from book five but sadly didn’t have enough time for more. Diomedes raging and fighting the gods and causing a carnage amongst the Trojans was interesting. Can’t wait to find more about what gods do about this threat honestly. Gods being able to be wounded by mortals is sure interesting. Not much grand themes, but slowly building up towards that.
