As I was reading, I had a really difficult time keeping track of characters names, who they were, who they were related to, etc. I felt like I was constantly looking back to previous pages to reference who they were. It also was confusing because the names were all similar and became really confusing. It also did not help that I do not have a background of Greek Mythology and characters. After finally getting all the characters straight in my head and how they were related to one another, I couldn't decide who was the main hero of the story. Is it Achilles or Agamenmnon?
I enjoyed read the two books of The Iliad more so than the other three stories we have read in class. I think as we move on through the semester, the stories will gradually become more interesting and easier to read and I gain experience in reading world literature.
