After almost 100 pages of reading, I'm finally to the actual text of The Odyssey!
Emily Wilson wrote a hell of an introduction
@coriander coriander is about to discover there is no odyssey, they just wrap it up in introductions hoping you'll give up
@coriander the penguin classics printing of the communist manifesto is also very long and great
@coriander i love a good purreface
@coriander is it weird that having THAT long of an introduction makes me more excited to read it (when my copy arrives)?
Like I'm going over this.
Though I plan to do the Iliad first. Hope that has a brick of an introduction
