I'm diving into classical literature for the first time and I started with Edith Hamilton's Mythology yesterday. I got through the intro and first chapter on the greater and lesser gods, but I found myself having to Google pronunciations and greek mountains, island, etc.
Did any of you guys have to do this or am I just stupid? I'm also pretty sure I'm going to have read some form of chapter summaries when I get to the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid after completing each chapter just to grasp the content... :/

slightly retarded, yes

You're retarded for falling for the "start with the greeks" meme

you're retarded for asking if needing to google pronunciations of a thousand-year old foreign language which you don't speak makes you retarded.

Might be bait, but no. Greek pronunciation and geography has very little to do with Homer or any other Greek works for that matter, barring something like the Histories.

No, you're just a sperg who wants to pronounce everything perfectly regardless of contextlike me desu.
Try to write down what you want to search, and do it after you're done reading.

I finished Mythology last night (just made a thread about it actually) and I had difficulty with some passages, so if you're retarded then at least we'll be retarded together.
It definitely helped to read her summaries prior to jumping into the epics, at least in my experience so far.
