The Odyssey by Homer
5.0
I wrote a long review and then it didn't save when I switched the edition I owned. *sigh*
In short, I still liked it. It's a solid epic that paved the way for them all. I thought it funny just how many biblical and christian-sounding phrases and descriptions of the Gods were used. Considering that this was more than a couple of hundred years before christianity, or even Christ, it really made me reflect on how much christianity really adopted *cough* stole *cough* from the beliefs and ideas before them.
