Well I finished Fagles' translation of "The Odyssey" last Sunday on my way up the hill to the lake. Read by Ian McKellen, marvelous btw
I was amazed at how much the men bawl their eyes out in the story. Every time a guy dies, every man tears up like a little girl. And remember, all the guys die except Odysseus
Glad I didn't try an iambic pentameter version. Probably would not have finished
On Hoe Math's Levels, all the main characters would be at Level 3
Started "The Iliad". Read by Derek Jacobi. Who sounds like just Roddy McDowell. Sounds like The Trojan War read by Cornelius from Planet of the Apes.
Agamemmnon is a total dick in this story, deserved what he got from Helen's sister. Bigger dick than in Time Bandits
The Odyssey by Homer, Robert Fagles
