The glory of armor lit the skies and the whole earth laughed, rippling under the glitter of bronze, thunder resounding under trampling feet of armies. And in their midst the brilliant Achilles began to arm for battle . . .

Estou surpreso de ter me apegado tanto nesta história, sempre tive medo de ler, mas foi uma leitura tão fluída, tão gostosa. Acredito que a tradução do Frederico Lourenço tenha um grande papel nisto.
Mesmo sendo aquele tipo de história que todos conhecemos mesmo sem ler, é muito interessante realmente ler e ver realmente como é, como tudo acontece.

“Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.”
Petty gods, mortal pawns, stupidity, lust, weak heels… The Iliad is the blueprint for modern day’s miscommunication trope which should make it awful but instead it’s a banger. Every time I re-read it, it reminds me of why I love mythology teehee
5/5 because idk if I can ever rate it anything else

A bit lengthier than my usual reads but oh god, I do love me some Greek Mythology. It's not just the stories being interesting—but the truth it holds and tells which are still relevant in modern society. A lot to learn on how wars tear apart human beings, the hate, the anger, the jealousy etc. etc. At times, it does get boring due to the length of it; however, the satisfaction after finishing it is worth it. But, at times, it's also tough to understand but eh, you'll get it somehow.

“Anger- sing, goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that accursed anger, which brought the Greeks endless suffering and sent the mighty souls of many warriors to Hades, leaving their bodies as carrion for the dogs and a feast for the birds; and Zeus’ purpose was fulfilled. It all began when Agamemnon lord of men and godlike Achilles quarrelled and parted.”
Genuinely think that is the best opening to a story EVER^^
This was great I forgot how much I loved the story- in terms of actual story i prefer the Iliad over the odyssey however I found that the odyssey was a lot easier to read.
Book 2 was both one of my favourites and also almost the end of me- I had a lot of fun flipping back and forth between the map and the list of boats but oh my days did I want to rip my hair out my the end.
Book 3 and 7 were also some of my favs
Book 10 was great- live laugh love Odysseus
Book 16
