Status Updates From Ilias

book 4- gore, the battle properly starts, too many names to remember

book 5- the battle properly begins (gore)

Llevo casi medio libro y Aquiles sigue enfadado como un niño memeo

I’d be surprised if somebody who knows nothing about The Iliad has enjoyed these 4 four books. Wikipedia groups these books under the name ‘Exposition’ and that is exactly what it is.

There are some good things sprinkled in - Agamemnon V Achilles and learning why the war began. But those long paragraphs in Book 2 were not needed at all, still it’s the equivalent of your town getting a shout-out in a song.
