juleswells's review against another edition

I didn't hate it, but just couldn't do anymore right now. At least I was reading it while Samantha was in Ithaca 😊

Definitely not bad for VIII century BC. I'd say [b:The Odyssey|1381|The Odyssey|Homer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1390173285s/1381.jpg|3356006] totally deserves all the glory it gained ! and I will definitely read [b:The Iliad|1371|The Iliad|Homer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388188509s/1371.jpg|3293141], though now I see Odyssey probably should have bean read second.

... and I loved this archaic prosaic Georgian translation!

...... and [b:The Iliad|1371|The Iliad|Homer|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388188509s/1371.jpg|3293141] is the definite next one, as soon as I identify which is the most proper translation for me :)

Had to read this one in school. Though I prefere the Iliad story, the adventures of Odysseus were interesting and his journey was full of action and hidden meanings behind his andentures.
