Not sure if I had the patience to fully appreciate this classic. The Odyssey portion was great and definitely more interesting but the Iliad was such a PAIN to get through, I think its just the nature of ancient warfare, I’m not into it. Reading this did bring back my childhood obsession with Greek mythology though.

Historia grega, que já derivou varios livros, vale a pena ler bem sucinta e direta.
A cidade de Troia que Homero descreve aqui, todos achavam que era uma lenda até encontrarem ruinas dela na decada de 50. Por isso ainda tem esperança pela cidade de Atlântida já que também a lenda vem de uma história grega.
