@Clay: Thanks for the suggestion… that sounds magical.

I’ll definitely be leveraging my “resources” to grab myself a copy of the audiobook for supplement.

If you want the best Iliad experience (imho), get the Robert Fagles translation - and supplement it with the Penguin audiobook complete reading, which I’m sure you’re resourceful enough to find . It’s read by Derek Jacoby, of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and all 14 hours are magic.

I used to drive cross-country alone from L.A. to Chattanooga and back every summer to visit my family, and chose to sleep days and drive nights - listening to Homer telling his tale for hours on end, like he was in the passenger seat. One of my favorite memories of my life.
