i'm reading a translation of iliad (i know i shouln't have said that but i dont know greek yet, i will read it in greek if i learn it)
there're 81 pages of translator's note before the actual epic, it tells about homer and troja, greek gods, and stuff about original text. at the end of the book there's 57 pages of character dictionary thing
