I’m over here rooting for the Greeks like it’s the Super Bowl. I haven’t felt this passionately about a fictional battle in a while lol, I absolutely love how messy the gods are - hilarious. Fuck the Trojans (how can you root for them?) and Hector too for how he did Patroclus. He killed him and took Achilles’ armor?? That’s mad disrespect - Achilles’ go batshit

Who has time to read anymore? I don’t even have the time for audio books yo, this is fantastic translation though. I love analyzing her word choice and the cadence of the poem. Can’t wait to read more
