Omero, Iliade

Well, this was disappointing.
Before starting this little book I knew that lots of people didn’t like it and many of them descrive this as a “bignami” of the Iliad (a bignami is a little book about some books of literature studied at school, some people here in Italy use them as an alternative way to study long books) and I have to agree with them.
It’s not for the modern language used to tell a story from 3 thousand years ago, my problem is with the fact that the author rewrite one of the most beautiful and amazing story in barely one hundred and half pages, he cut important part and the few dialogues were terrible.
There are plenty of good modern retelling of the Iliad, apparently this wasn’t one of them.
