Turns out a book that hasn't been out of print for millennia is quite good.

Nothing to say that can add to what has been said for so long. Excellent, readable translation. An epic no doubt

Patroclo, compañero amado, compañero querido.
Uno de los libros más densos que me he leido,  todo lo relacionado a patroclo rompió mi corazón y el y Aquiles me hicieron más interesante la lectura. También hasta que salio patroclo me veía a veces de el lado de los troyanos, pero fue una lectura interesante aunque densa.
