Lyme’s Reviews > The Odyssey > Status Update

have just finished book 20. enjoying the story far more than I initially thought I would. obviously it's quite different from modern prose, but the Odyssey is kind of the platonic ideal of a story in a sense (might expand upon this in a later review)

Have finished the (extensive) intro to the epic and its first three books. Quite different to anything I've read before structure-wise. Enjoying it so far, and it's cool to read a story knowing that it is at least 2700 years old.

Would be keen to check out Joyce's Ulysses at some point after finishing this, knowing that it took some inspiration from the Odyssey.
