The iliad
Legendary classic that's been around longer than the bible and still has a more enticing storyline.
Iliad
I think that the book was great as I am in seventh grade the book was also fairly challenging but interesting and the ancient Greeks were in my perspective to centered on the ideology that there are many gods if "they" had based religion on a simpler base as monotheism then the Greeks in my opinion would have prospered much longer than they did over all I think that the book was very changing to any that would like to read it however be prepared to think
It suuuuucks
It’s written in dense 16th century English and its so hard to read. I was forced to read it for my English class but I do not suggest this.
