I say if you're into greek mythology and myths and whatever other stuff there is, then this is a good book. Unfortunately, I am not interested in any type of Greek or mythology, so the book was overall quite boring for me. I also struggled to keep up with all the characters and their roles in Odysseus' adventure. To me, it seemed like Homer dragged out short events to go the point to where it was boring. I'm almost done with the book, and I doubt I'd be picking up another like it. I also think a translation into modern time would be beneficial, even if it don't have a rhythm to it, but to understand what you're reading. I gave 2 stars because I got the point, Odysseus was lost, Athena and Telemachus worked to get him back, he came back. Simple 💯
