The Iliad is a fierce, emotional, tragic story of war, loss, and relationships.
The Odyssey is water to the Iliad’s fire. I adore this story of twists and turns.

Yes it's a classic. I know for sure I'd have never gotten through this if it wasn't for this audio version though. It's violent and graphic with a lot of killing of animals and humans.
The Gods are conniving and the mortals don't stand a chance in Hades. It was definitely entertaining but it's not for the faint of heart, there's a lot of "running through with swords" and blood spurting. I liked it and glad I persevered through the 25+ hours of listening.

Not sure if I had the patience to fully appreciate this classic. The Odyssey portion was great and definitely more interesting but the Iliad was such a PAIN to get through, I think its just the nature of ancient warfare, I’m not into it. Reading this did bring back my childhood obsession with Greek mythology though.

Historia grega, que já derivou varios livros, vale a pena ler bem sucinta e direta.
A cidade de Troia que Homero descreve aqui, todos achavam que era uma lenda até encontrarem ruinas dela na decada de 50. Por isso ainda tem esperança pela cidade de Atlântida já que também a lenda vem de uma história grega.
