pick only one,why?
>>9773911
Illiad because it's basically an episode of Dragon Ball Z.
>>9773911
That's like saying Old Testament vs New Testament. Pick one...
Odyssey because the Iliad is for plebes that need plot and action.
>>9773917
Someone didn't understand the text...
I enjoyed the odyssey more
>>9773911
Iliad because Hector is a cool guy
>>9773911
I like the Iliad's themes and story but the translations I read did Iliad better
>>9773933
Odyssey's themes and story FUCK
>>9773918
You mean it's not hard at all and the former in both cases?
>>9773949
haha holy shit nice

So he's Telemachus?
When it comes down to it the Iliad and Odyssey are both essentially stories about cuckoldry/attempted cuckoldry, and Helen of Troy is the most beautiful woman in the world, while Penelope is not. So the choice of the Iliad is obvious.

Homer shows that women who honor their commitments, like Penelope, lead to happy endings. Women who disregard their commitments, like Helen, lead to War.

lol odyssey has much more of a 'plot' than the iliad. the latter is just basically the heroes being controlled by the gods
