“The fate that was mine at birth has opened its jaws and swallowed me up.”
I just realised that this is the 4th time I’m reading the Iliad. This is also the second time I’m reading the translation by Stephen Mitchell, which honestly makes the experience even better. I hope some day I can learn greek and actually read the Iliad, until then I will be reading this again and again.
