Reviews

[Francesco Pedeferri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mi rendo conto di essere davanti a un'opera più grande di me, ma continuo a non capirla. 3 stelle per gusto personale, 5 riconoscendone la grandezza. Troppe perifrasi cui non riesco a stare dietro, probabilmente per mia colpa. Molto potenti le sentenze e le conclusioni, talvolta anche gli incipit.
In definitiva, gli dei sono dei e gli uomini sono uomini. I primi possono scegliere di intervenire nelle vicende dei secondi, che possono ricevere doni (e la gloria è il principale) solo dai primi.

Me ha costado seguir la lectura y mucho más asimilar el contenido. La interacción entre dioses, semidioses y personajes y el desconocimiento de los lugares que se citan dificultan el seguimiento de las acciones.
Pero mi ignorancia no resta merito a la calidad literària de esta obra.
