Read during summer break before clerkship (4th year)

The most rewarding book I’ve read.

In the spirit of oral tradition, I listened to an abridged audiobook.

So much death. Why learn their names if they just die anyway?

Loved my bias Diomedes, son of Tydeus, the god-fighter with a whole book flexing his based chadness (Book 5).

Ajax vs Hector duel was hilarious.

They tied and gave each other gifts 😭
