Marcia’s Reviews > The Iliad > Status Update

This is one of the goriest books I have read. The kill wounds are easily located, and the comparison of the fighting to natural phenomena makes the battle intense, especially as I finish book 15, The Achaeans Desperate. My biggest struggle is I don't know all the warrior's names, the allies, and the mythology minutae, so a lot of the struggle is confusing. I thought I was better versed in Greek myths than I am.
