The Iliad

In my opinion, I don't understand the “hype” aka love this gets. For years, people have always told me to “read the Iliad. It's amazing”. And... I have put it off until this month.
There are parts I enjoyed but that was limited. Most of the time was spent bored reading. And... I'm going to say that the reason why I didn't fully like Iliad was because I'm not a Greek mythology person.
