#classics #coffeeandabook
Like most classics I would imagine, sometimes the best way to adjust your mind to a story's setting & language is just to keep reading. An ancient work such as the Iliad demands it, I think. I'm starting to straighten a little when Homer describes Paris donning armor, or Pandaros preparing an arrow for flight. Glory and honor for sure, if it wasn't for the fickle, petty & meddling gods prolonging the conflict.
Saturday afternoon #coffeeandabook
This is a reread for me, but I loved the entire series so much that I'm rereading it for my work book club. ☕️📚🐛
"...you told me how you got your eyes blowed out in an explosion...can you remember what you used to see before that...?"
"...I do remember things like they were then...Sometimes I fill up my dark world with people of all kinds of colors...I think sometimes if all the people in the world were made up of colors like that instead of just some black and some white, it would be a happier world..."
"Maybe your world's prettier'n ours."
