I've been reading the Illiad lately, and let me tell you, it is fucking tedious. It starts nine years into the siege of Troy and ends at that scene in the movie when Achilles gives Priam back Hector's body and they decide on an eleven day truce for some funeral games.

I now know the name of every captian of every Greek ship (the majority of chapter two) the names of their fathers, homelands, dispositions, and the provenance of most of Agammemnon's armor.

Greek style warfare was rather stupid.

The gods are hysterically funny. Zeus to Hera: "O bitch unparalleled! Say no more or I'm throwing your ass in Tartarus!" (Well, that was paraphrased, except for the bitch unparalleled part.)

Paris was crazy (manic depressive or something) and Helen was a wuss.

Pssh.

More on this later.
