The Iliad by Homer, Emily R. Wilson
5.0
dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

everyone saying this is THE translation is right. odysseus my controversial shady king i love you—that’s my man. achilles didnt have to do all that, but his grief is so profound and so utterly human that it transcends time and sticks a (figurative) spear right through my heart. war spares no mercy; grief is a violent, destructive force. zeus is on my shit list; just wait till i catch that fucker.
