Feels like sitting around a fire
Format: Paperback
I didn’t think I’d ever get through these stories, but this translation made it feel like someone was telling them to me, not lecturing. The battles in The Iliad felt sharp and real, and the long journey in The Odyssey pulled me in without getting lost in heavy words. I finished both feeling like I finally understood why these stories mattered, and they left me thinking about courage, anger, and coming home in a new way.
