>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 28 16:59:11 2020 No.16897264 >>16897245 The Odyssey skips to AFTER the war ends and Troy is sacked. We literally only know about the other parts because of flashbacks and Odysseus going to visit his dead war buddies in Hades who reminisce back when they were alive.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 28 17:14:15 2020 No.16897414 >>16896611 The Illiad is about Achilles finding peace. He found peace through forgiveness. The rest is boring.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 28 17:16:23 2020 No.16897440 >>16897233 The story is complete as it is. Achilles is pissed. Stuff happens Achilles is still pissed. The scene of forgiveness. Hectors funeral. The end. It's a complete story.
