Virgil’s Aeneid was more popular than Homer during the Renaissance, interestingly enough, but that flipped from the Enlightenment onward. Still had a massive influence on the world as it is today though!Finshed this book 2 weeks ago. It was a very good read. I can only recommend it to everyone. Made me a bit sad though. I think the situation is basically non-fixable at this point and it's only going to get worse.
Next up...
In book 4 now. Not bad but not really good either. I haven't read Homer yet (planning to soon) but I guess there must be a reason why Homers epics are much better known than this one. I find it a bit difficult to follow the plot with all the Gods and their sub plots in it.
