Starts a little slow but by the end was like learning to an old friend.

No more needs to be said. Except they make you write 15. So there. Fifteen.

I'm a classical nut, so presumably the target demographic. I was really excited by the topic, the idea of telling it from Patroclus' view. I was looking forward to it with open eyes rather than judging it by the impossible standard of the Iliad. The reviews were great, taking about getting lost in the pretty of it. One review even said she's the new Mary Renault. I do not agree. I enjoyed it fit the most part, but constantly found it to flatly prosaic. The hairs never pricked up on the back of my neck, the dopamine never flowed. I don't think she found any new depths of pathos. To better honest, I thought the mostly action scene movie Troy did a better job, but I guess Peter O'toole helps. Anyway, like I said a mildly interesting listen if you have an interest in the topic, but don't go out of your way. I will probably not download Circe, but will be looking for the Mary Renault novels I haven't been through yet.

Heffernan was a great guide through this usual bear of a book. Highly recommend this course!
