tarahann 's review for:
The Odyssey
by Homer
Not going to lie: was expecting more.
The most interesting thing to me was the various incarnations/descriptions of the Dawn. The rest, kinda "meh." I mean, interesting in how fickle the gods are, but otherwise thought it'd be something more. I did feel the loss of reading translation at multiple points. But obv. I'm not learning greek just to get through it at a deeper level, so there you have it.
Other interesting things to me:
The frame narrative (stories within stories within stories)
The female archetypes (Patient Penolope, Seductive Circe, Bad-ass- but totally fickle- Athene, etc.)
The role of forgiveness (or lack thereof)
other nerdy things...
