Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 64
The Iliad, together with The Odyssey, is one of two ancient Greek epic poems traditionally attributed to Homer. The work is commonly dated to the 8th or 7th century BC, and many scholars believe it is the oldest extant work of literature in the Greek language, making it the first work of European literature. The story concerns events during the 10th and final year in the siege of the city of Troy by the Greeks.

Iliad
Revisado: 03-08-18
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Difficult to follow because so much time is spent describing the lineage of each character. Joe the son of ed, the brother of tom, the cousin of Allen, the nephew of Jack.......All with greek names...
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
no real ending the death of Hector
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
some interesting facts..
Was The Iliad worth the listening time?
not really a shorter summary would be as just as good.

Ulysses S. Grant's life has typically been misunderstood. All too often he is caricatured as a chronic loser and an inept businessman or as the triumphant but brutal Union general of the Civil War. But these stereotypes don't come close to capturing him, as Chernow reveals in his masterful biography, the first to provide a complete understanding of the general and president whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency.
