My new is The Iliad which I last read nearly four decades ago. The translation is by E. V. Rieu and I’d forgotten quite how beautifully it was written. It’s a joy to read.

Rage—Goddess, sing the rage of Peleus' son Achilles,
murderous, doomed, that cost the Achaeans countless losses, hurling down to the House of Death so many sturdy souls, but made their bodies carrion, feasts for the dogs & birds & the will of Zeus was moving toward its end.
Begin, Muse, when the 2 first broke & clashed, Agamemnon lord of men & brilliant Achilles. What god drove them to fight w/such a fury?

I came across a clip of reciting from an event in 2013. So I slowed it down and laid it over the Jabba the Hutt scene in Return of the Jedi. You can barely tell the difference.

If The Iliad is your jam, Christopher Logue's versions are revelatory.

Why did the Greeks not get cold when besieging Troy?

Because they had Menelaus. 😇
