This was a really great rendition of the Iliad and I'd highly recommend it!! I wish he had focused a little more on the women's words (there are so few in the Iliad that it's worth knowing them), but I understand why he didn't. The only scene I really think he should have had and didn't was glaucus's speech on mankind being like leaves, as it's such an iconic speech
