it's the best war book of all times, if you are man, you are going to love it
Will this entertain me?
Listen to this guy, OP. Or read some Clive Cussler, he should be perfect for you.
>he doesn't feel warm and happy every time old nestor starts telling all the heroes how much greater men were in HIS day
If you are reading the Iliad expecting it to be some kind of plot focused page turner your mind is in the wrong place. Ideally you would be familiar with the whole extended universe of the stories of the Greek heroes and the Trojan campaign before starting.
A huge portion of Hellenic writing is all dealing with the same stories and characters, Homer is famous because his telling of those stories was regarded as the best and most inspired recounting of those stories.
>all men love war
Fuck off brute
>one of the founding documents of western canon
No, OP.
That would be three kingdoms actually desu.
Outside of one section early on which is a literal parade of names and nationalities for 15 pages it is very entertaining.

please don't be mad sir, give some poetic licence. War is the most human thing in the world, don't be arrogant
