Just completed Book1

I don't get why did Achilles let them take away Briseis? Why didn't he stop them? Just because of Athena?

>>9180216
Mostly because of Athena. The Greeks didn't mess around with their gods, as you will see throughout the book.

But Agamemnon was also his king.

>>9180225
Hmm..Thanks anon.

I should maybe re-read Bernard Knox's brilliant introduction. I think he does talk about something like this.

That and The Odessy are just warm ups for the main event.
Something that was actually intended to be written down.

>mfw Agamemnon let's his daughter be sacrificed without complaint for a favorable wind but won't let one of his war prizes prize go to stop his army from being destroyed by plague.

I guess that's what you get when you read fagles

Oh boy I cant wait for all the "muh Homer" fags to jump down your throat for this.

Sorry, not sorry. Latin hexameter actually takes skill to write, unlike Greek, which uses δ' and τ' as crutches to make up for poor length/elision. Not to mention the whole correption/synezesis bullshit. I mean at that point, why even bother having metric rules, if you're just gonna shit on them to fix the meter.

Aeneid is a 10/10 masterpiece. Iliad is a 3/10 at best, and Odyssey tops out at 5/10

The poems of Homer are an unequalled monument to human dignity and potential. They are foundational to how we think and live today.

The Aeneid is a very pretty piece of imperial propaganda.

We all just read the first few books and imagined it as an anime in class and then watched the 'Troy' movie with Brad Pitt to get the gist of it.
