Figured, *before* I start my *60 classics before the age of 60,* that I had actually better read the Iliad and the Odyssey, as so many other classics reference these two foundational texts/ poems
Still in the Intro - very insightful it is too.

At one point, I completely forgot that I was reading an ancient text. I was so immersed in the story, so carried along in the detail and the dynamics, that I had no sense that this was written some 2000+ years ago. Amazing.

Wow! It’s … well, beautiful! I was so scared to tackle this, and now I’m starting to get a measure about what people have been raving about!

Got through the introduction. I have to say I feel that was a worthy read. I have now started with the poem, and to my surprise, I am finding it easier and more palatable than I anticipated. In fairness, much of this may be because of the introduction.
