Read the Odyssey, actually really liked it. Should I read the Iliad? Why do I never hear about people reading it?

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 26 07:10:15 2012 No.3009971 the Iliad is awesome, far better than the Odyssey. The Aeneid is better than both, though.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 26 07:13:15 2012 No.3009972 The Iliad has divine incest.

>>	Anonymous Wed Sep 26 07:27:34 2012 No.3009986 >>3009956 The Illiad might bore you death, even if you liked The Odyssey. The Illiad has the most beautiful parts of the two imo
