Ramayana and Iliad, Yeonsoo Kim

My book didn't arrive yet, so I will talk about the last week reading. Ramayana and Iliad, these two ancient literatures do not seem to have the similarities between them. But, quite interestingly, they share a couple of similar points. First of all, their main theme in the story is love and revenge. To be honest, love and revenge are most common topic in the world of literature, so it might not be that exciting to see it as similarity. Secondly, they are both epic. I think it is important that we are looking for the reason these two literatures were originally written in the form of epic but in prose. For me, I like the version in prose better. I think it is more comfortable to read.
