Lessons learned

Following are some things I learned from The Iliad, The Odyssey and Aeneid (so far):
  1. God(s)--- thou shalt irate not!!!
  2. Conflict of interests is the core problem underlying all suffering experienced by mortals in these poems because too many of these mortals are the offsprings of Gods
  3. Men haven't changed much from then till now... they still run away.. 8-O lol

In addition, in case you want to read or listen to all three of them, my suggested sequence for these three epic poems would be in chronical order-- The Iliad by Homer, Aeneid by Virgil, and, The Odyssey by Homer.
