I decided not to leave a rating for this as I feel like I have two ratings (one for Emily Wilson's translation and for the story itself (which is also hard to rate since there are so many different versions, ofc). This has always been on my tbr as a "someday" read but ngl, I was of course daunted by it for a long time! But thanks to Emily Wilson's accessible translation and my best friend showing me Epic, I had a really enjoyable time reading this! I will probably read Wilson's Iliad translation soon to have both of them under my belt :) I'm also proud of myself for reading as I have been learning about Greek Mythology for the first time (the Percy Jackson wave just didn't hit me growing up) as a fun adulting project and hobby!!
