I've been thinking about reading The Odyssey and Iliad for a while now, but I just can't seem to open up those volumes (I've read The Odyssey and parts of The Iliad years ago). I'll be checking this one out!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-18669097936993170522009-05-24T09:53:08.023-05:002009-05-24T09:53:08.023-05:00Margaret ~ This would be an excellent introduction...Margaret ~ This would be an excellent introduction.

And it's quick, which is always a plus when you're unsure of something.

I have never attempting reading the original, but I might attempt this.

And you never know, after this you might find yourself reading the real thing after all! :-)<br /><br />Rebecca ~ Ditto on The Iliad. It's amazing. This is almost like reading it again, only easier.<br /><br />Michele ~ I think you would really, really like this book. I'd love to see your thoughts on it!<br /><br />Joanna ~ Silk was the only one I had heard of, too. I ran across this while browsing at the library. I'm so glad I did! Though Silk is now on my TBR after reading this one.<br /><br />Terri ~ That's what happened to me with this one. I'm mulling over all the things I want to read this summer and wondering if I can cram The Iliad in there somewhere! :-)<br /><br />LezlieLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747969193923246804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606392701671180733.post-23003572410013889612009-05-22T14:56:32.884-05:002009-05-22T14:56:32.884-05:00Lezlie, This book looks fantastic.
