The Iliad

prawnie

I wanted Homer's intense expressions of rage and grief to be appropriately intense, but never ridiculous or kitsch-given that some modern readers may have little experience of a world in which grown men constantly wail and slap their thighs in grief, or scream marvelously inventive insults at each other in their rage. 

He spoke to him aggressively and sent him harshly away. 

Impresionante obra. Al principio me costó por el vocabulario y la sintaxis antigua pero después se le agarra la mano. Es como el game of thrones original. Mi shock más grande fue darme cuenta que no era sobre la guerra de Troya sino la guerra de los dioses, lo cual lo hizo mil veces mejor.

not gonna lie, i’m not really into classics but this was so interesting! i’m glad that i read this translation because i’d be way more confused if i read the others.
