Omero, Iliade | Alessandro Baricco

Unico libro di Baricco che non mi ha fatto impazzire. Completamente differente dal suo soluto stile, forse avevo io dele aspettative differenti

Homer and His Iliad | Robin Lane Fox

Mehso-so

I like the Odyssey more than the Iliad. So maybe that‘s part of this, but the author is more trope then man. He tells you that he brings the Iliad with him when he travels and it never fails to move him to tears. I‘m picturing him on Southwest Airlines between a overtired toddler and their parent assuring them “It‘s okay! It‘s just…Achilles!” And sobbing.

Pickpick

For anyone who is at all interested in Homer, this book is an absolute treasure trove. I wish it had been around when I was studying the Iliad and Odyssey thirty years (😳) ago. An unexpected bonus was how lyrically AN writes about sailing and the sea. Just gorgeous. It briefly made me as nostalgic as Odysseus yearning for his Ithaca! 😉

batsy Thanks for highlighting this... Adding to my list! 1y
