The Odyssey: (the Stephen Mitchell Translation) by Homer

adventurous challenging dark emotional funny mysterious fast-paced

5.0

 I honestly blew through it it was so compelling, much more narratively interesting than the lliad since it didn't have the long passages just describing warfare. Not thatI hold those against the lliad- they're extremely necessary, but the Odyssey is much more compelling of a read to me, with so much more going on. Mitchell's translation was extremely readable; think read 3/4 of this in maybe 2 hours? Would recommend to anyone looking to get into the classics. 10/10.
