I'm reading this for two reasons: 1. I've been playing a lot of Hades recently, which has a lot of Greek characters in it (e.g., Achilles and Patroclus). 2. Christopher Nolan's next project is The Odyssey. So I want to read that, and I don't want to read it before reading this.

However, I'm already immediately disappointed that in this translation all the names of Greek gods are "translated to English" (according to Bryant); so we have Jupiter instead of Zeus, etc.
