Reading this for school, just a warning...
So far better than the illiad, but Odysseus is such a brat it is painful. He is so unfaithful to his wife Penelope, and he isn't even trying very hard to get home! Meanwhile Penelope is holding off tons of suitors and waiting for her husband who has been gone for 20 years, and might be dead. UGH
