I might finish this today! Can't wait to see Odysseus wrack havoc on these damn suitors. Pretty sure it'll give me Red Wedding vibes. :D

Which translation are you reading? (Unless you somehow know Ancient Greek, with all your other languages I’d hardly be surprised)

I LOVE IT!
Literally reading this at the same time as you and I am feeling EXACTLY THE SAME. I'm like, how did I go for all these years thinking this was going to be boring and awful. I love it!
