wasn’t as into it as the odyssey at first, but it really grew on me since it’s not so centered on any one individual. it’s nice to get both sides of the trojan war. super interesting to track aphrodite & hera throughout this. much more perspective from multiple gods than in the odyssey. 

did i like it more than the odyssey? perhaps. i’ll figure it out on the next read.
