Introductions
Hello everyone! 👋
Since this is our very first book club I thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves and get to know our new reading pals a little bit better! Because these things are always a bit awkward, here's a few ideas you can use as prompts:
Name [or a nickname or pseudonym if you'd like to remain anonymous!]
Pronouns
Location
What are you hoping to get out of the Ancient World Book Club?
Have you joined a book club before?
What's the first ancient text you read?

Books 7-24 discussion
We're only reading Books 1-6 as part of this month's reading group, but I thought I'd add a forum for the rest of the Iliad in case any of you are planning to read the whole text and would like a place to talk about it!
