C’est fini!! I have completed the Iliad, but with great disappointment. Despite the wonderful story line and the detailed war images, the book was lacking one thing…THE TROJAN HORSE!! What the heck, one of the only reasons I read the book was to learn more about the horse and how Odysseus concocted the plan. But no, I was mistaken, evidently Homer’s recount of the battle of Troy ends before the city ever gets sacked…sorry if I ruined if for you.

Needless to say, I would definitely recommend anyone interested in classic literature to read this adventure. However, be warned. Being a Greek novel, it was extremely hard to find redeeming value with in the pages. It is saturated with humanism. Go figure; None-the-less a great story.

By the by, does anyone know where I can find the account of the Trojan horse?
