so... i’m mega sunburnt and reading to avoid sleeping bc i don’t wanna see myself in the morning?

the greeks were certainly starved for entertainment. war is boring and doesn’t require 350 pages.

“damn! some evil power is thwarting everything!”
teucer, pg.266
there’s also a guy called dolops which, more than anything, made me cackle
ALSO “are we going to take things lying down” is legit on pg.268

oof

but will hector, with his ”legs well apart for maximum power” storm trumps wall?

“So now he helped himself liberally to the booty...”
Neleus! In the middle of a battle! How could you betray the Greeks this way?

here’s the formula:
1. violence
2. sex
3. a 3 page speech
to be combined in no particular order.

this and game of thrones? quite scarily similar.

reading this and watching game of thrones is a lot

my complaint is not the difficulty, but rather the 50 page introduction isn’t included in the page count.
