And meanwhile my wife and I have three Iliad translations on our shelf, which come down regularly as part of everyday conversation. If you last read it as a teenager it would be worth trying again—Emily Wilson's is very accessible!
Thanks for the recommendation. I've been wanting to read the Iliad for awhile, but always wondered which translation might be approachable.
If you're trying to reconstruct the Mycenaean Greek world from very paltry contemporary sources it's fascinating.
The Bible is the source materials for some of the greatest movies and shows in history, but also has some boring listings of people's ancestors.
wtf is a begat
The Bible itself it's a rehash on older folk tales and myths.
