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…

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
