exadela 's review for:

The Odyssey by Homer
3.0

okay. here’s the deal. i liked it. but i didn’t love it.

odysseus does so many interesting things and has so many interesting interactions like with circe, scylla, polyphemus, the underworld, etc. but those books are SO short in comparison to the multiple books spent on him doing basically nothing in ithaca 

i need to give the illiad a read as in general it looks like people enjoy one over the other 

i liked the translation quite a bit though! felt a lot more like it was meant to be read out loud and it highlighted some moments that were unexpectedly funny
