Guys, I'm 14 chapters deep in Ihe Illiad, when does it get good? Before that I read Odyssey and that book flowed so much better.

>> No.10849465

It's not good, it's great

Big difference

so when does it get to be great? The locations been the same since the second chapter or so and all they've been doing is kill eachother through the help of some faggy gods.

If you didn't like book 5 and 10 you might as well stop reading now.

>there are actually people who don't enjoy homer

Just give up on literature

eh there were a couple of chapters that were entertaining specifically those that weren't just about "hector killing this guy and this guy and also this guy and then he gets zeus to buttblast everybody on the field". so yeah maybe im just buttblasted about the 2 chapters before 14, because that shit was unbearably boring.

it gets good when you close the last page and get to make fun of brainlets who haven't read it

ok just finished chapter 14, that was a good one, not great but good :^)

>> No.10849630

crazy, I thought the exact opposite. The whole time I was reading the Odyssey I was thinking fucking GO HOME ALREADY, dude!

>> No.10849677

at book 14 you've read diomedes going into such a berserk that he injures two gods
you've read hector's emotional conversation with his wife
you've read the embassy's heated plea for achilles to return
you've read the desperate struggle of the greeks by their ships
if you ain't feelin' it now i don't think you're gonna be feelin' it in the last 10 chapters

>> No.10849678

>>10849524
Actually I kinda agree with you. 12 to 16 are probably the most boring ones if you read it like that.
