Have you read it ? I've tried to . But I just don't see what Kev sees in it , or why he likes it so much . He's read the thing about a dozen times . (dunno)
Yup. Read it many times. It's a poem - but it has many other meanings. There are deep rooted political themes throughout. Personally I don't think it's up to much. Far too repetitive & a bit bland. Prefered the Odyssey. I wouldn't know much though as I'm "such an idiot".
The version Kev has Is not done in the original , epic poem style . It's done along the lines of a novel , translated by E.V. Rieu . He also has The Odyssey , again by E.V. Rieu , but prefers The Iliad .
Got the Rieu one too. I find it quite dry. Just like ... nope ... I daren't say anymore. I'm off home. Have a great weekend.
