finished reading The Odyssey by Homer

The Odyssey (2017, Norton) 5 stars

Finished reading it this morning before work! Wow, that went by faster than I expected 😮

The story flowed so well I didn't even realise it was passing by. Aks tells me that The Odyssey is very accessible compared to other works of the period, so that makes sense, but it makes me want more. Also this is the first time I've happily gone through a whole workful of iambic pentameter! (The original Odyssey was written in dactylic hexameter, but this translation is in iambic pentameter)

Now...on to the iliad? 🤔
