What can you say, it is a must read, where the great Western cannon begins.

I love The Odyssey. But everyone has to make a choice in life between this and The Iliad, and for me it will always be The Iliad, even though it's the more unfashionable choice in our century.

Este libro posiblemente nunca me lo hubiera leído por voluntad propia, pero me lo pusieron a leer en la universidad en la U y pues me gustó, la historia ya me la sabía, pero igual fue una grata lectura.
