Anybody read the Odyssey, or any Homer?
any thoughts.


I'm a tiny bit into the Odyssey right now.
I really reallly wish i could have read it in it's native tongue.
it's the first thing i've ever really read like it, it's crazy how much has happened in such a short amount of time. With as much as already happened (Odyseus just set off for home), most books would be over by now. But with the poetry format, it seems endless. Theres still so much left.

You definatly should read The Illiad, its the story of the Trojan War, and leads directly up to the Odyssey. I loved the Odyssey, but it pales in comparison to The Illiad, in my opinion.

I read it at school its good I just don't like the poetry wording

I read the Odyssey for Language Arts. It was a good book but it was hard for me to follow along on some of the things going on. My favorite part of the book it when they are trying to escape from the Cyclops.

Yes, I have read it for school. I have to say its quite enjoyable. Haven't read Illiad yet though, maybe some day.

read it for school, along with the Illiad (first) but i read the odyssey in the summer cuz it was my first big book. since then i've read more than 20 big books for this crazy history class i have.

what's you guys' history text books? i have "omnibus I"and class is called"humanities 1"

just curious if we might have the same class :)

good book

I liked it. I read it in my ninth grade english class.

I really liked the movie done for it as well.

I had to read a lot of that and watch the movie for it in my 9th grade english class.

Personally, I rejoiced when we were through with it.

hah yeah, today was the last day of my freshmen year, but i read that book as the first book i read in that class, and the movie was sick too
