The Iliad. The classic epic by Homer. The story of the Trojan War. We've all heard of it in some form, I'm sure.
However, what about the book itself, the actual story as told be the writer, not someone who made it into a Hollywood Blockbuster?
Personally, I got to read most of it for a report I did in English. I didn't get to finish it due to time and stuff. Sadly. I really enjoyed what I read of the book, and if I get the chance I plan to finish it. Obviously, I read the English translation since I cant' read Ancient Greek. It was still an awesome story. There are some splotchy parts, that you kind of go "Huh?" because of the wording, but I'm sure that's just hardship in translation.
I think it was worth the time I invested to read it, personally.
