I feared this book might not live up to the hype. I must confess, the first few chapters didn’t grab me, but with every passing chapter Miller’s prose came alive until I couldn’t stop myself from devouring page after page. I was hunched over by the time I reached those last few pages, clinging to every last word as I continued to read by lamp-light well into the night. I expected knowing the story of the Iliad to diminish this modern reimagining, but if anything it made the pointed ironies and foreshadowing all the more foreboding and painful to endure. A must-read for anyone with even a passing interest in Greek mythology, this book has more than earned the endless praise associated with it.
