Title: The Timeless Art of Storytelling
Review: The Iliad was my first foray into Homer. I expected beautiful poetry and soaring rhetoric and was not disappointed. What I didn't expect was to be so thoroughly entertained and held in suspense by the story. There were times I would shout and pound my car's steering wheel in disbelief over something Achilles said or did. (I had the cassette version.) Listening to it, as opposed to reading it, helped make the story and characters come alive for me. But I'm eager to own the book so I can revisit favorite passages from time to time.
