I found this interesting.
I have tried reading the Odyssey and Iliad before, but I found this to be more accessible. 

I also really liked reading Anne Carson's introductions. It's always interesting hearing the thoughts of someone that is well read on the subject. 

I'm not sure how to rate this, so I'm not going to at the moment.
