review 1: This was such a beautiful, intense work to read. I wasn't a fan of some of the explicitly gory descriptions, which were difficult for me to stomach, but I otherwise loved this book. I have never read an epic poem before, but this was a great start. I absolutely love the character of Hector and I hope to continue reading Homer in the future. I would highly recommend The Iliad to anyone who enjoys reading about adventure, war, friendship, love, and Greek mythology.
review 2: I have ruined my book with highlighters, pencil, and pen marks. It is defaced and well loved. I don't recommend borrowing my copy. I have made my pocket dictionary pay for itself while reading this. I have loved every minute of reading The Iliad. I read it with a Great Books discussion group,... more and it was the best way to read the Iliad for the 1st time. I am sorry for all the high schoolers that "had" to read it for school and didn't like it. How unfortunate. It's a beautiful poem. The battle scenes could be a little too wordy for my taste, but I genuinely loved reading this book. If you spoke to me at all while I was reading it, my enthusiasm for it was noticeable. I couldn't stop talking about it. Onward to more Great Books. less
