Finished the Odyssey. That sucked.
What, did they just HAVE to keep it at exactly 24 books? Then why didn't they cut down on the babble about the journey with the oar and spend more time on the ENDING? As it is, there on the LAST page, the two sides are hurtling towards battle and suddenly! Athena FIXES IT. THE END.
Booo. And I was all set to like it better than the Iliad, too.
