Book Reviews of The Iliad (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Book Review: Good writing rarely found today
Summary: 5 Stars
Homer's Iliad, written well over 2500 years ago, still
delights the educated reader today. It's theme is Achilleus'
anger, and the results of his selfish pride on his own army
and closest friends. Homer deals with issues still around
today-"there is nothing new under the sun", and his writing
is like a gourmet meal compared to the macaroni and cheese
literature of modern times. His characters are complex, his
descriptions vivid, and his similes striking. This is required
reading for anyone who calls himself educated.
