The Iliad, Yeonsoo Kim

I love the story of Iliad, not because of its fame throughout the world but its contents dealing with the problematic issue from both human and god. I feel like ancient people felt much closer to god than contemporary people. They prayed for their needs asked for help very directly and they believed that gods feel the same way as human do. As this story mainly focused on the war between Troy and Greece, it contains many consequences among the characters. Like they struggled for achieving the glory in war at the same time they longed for peace for themselves. I think the reason why the Iliad is so well-known is that it is all about our life. We can read the Iliad and also feel sympathy for oneself.
