What a coincidence! Just tonight I was going to begin re-reading The Odyssey. Whoda thunk it?
We’ve read them both more than once - the Fagles translations - but my son and I just started listening to a lecture series, and the assignment for lecture 3 is the first two books of the Iliad. We read Book I last night; it’s funnier than you’d expect, and several family members are in it!
