another long gorey book but this one was a bit more interesting

nestor telling patroclus to take achilles' armor and go to war himself if achilles wont relent.. Does He Know?

OH MY GOD THIS RECENT BOOK IS JS WAR WAR WAR I DONT CARRRE I DONT CARE. YES AGAMEMNON AND DIOMEDES WERE INJURED FOR THE FIRST TIME. VERY INTERESTING. THE REST DIDNT NEED TO BE SO LONG

zeus on that Ihatemybitchwife grind

why was this book 1054 lines long

i really wish the characters were more clear. i had to google who everyone was and what side they were on like 10 times (though that's a given with literature from several thousand years ago)

whoops. odyssey* meant to say fitzgerald's translation of the odyssey on my last update

i think fitzgerald's translation of the iliad might just have been the most boring thing ever because this translation uses some complex language but in an engaging way like i genuinely enjoy it (hate the dude who wrote the intro tho. he's different from the translator but he was blatantly racist and misogynistic)

finally switched to the correct edition, yay
