homer's epics

[Prince Cobra]

I read Iliad seven years ago. There are still two years left before the fall of Troy. ~:p I haven't read Odysseus, though the character is my favourite hero in the Troy epic. His adventures are also very fascinating.

It is clear I did because we studied it at school and apart from few expressions, there was not anything intriguing in the story. As a matter of fact, before reading the Iliad, I read a compilation (500 pages) with the basic Greek myths and legends. The events in the Iliad are disappointingly small part of what happened. It does not depict the fall of Troy and what happens with most of the characters. The Agamemnon's family (his treacherous wife and his son bound to avenge his father), Odysseus and his avdentures, and even the Roman propaganda about the Troyan survivovors... Some of the plots are quite intriguing.
