At last! I finished "Illiad", and it hasn't dissapointed me. It's true that there are many characters and that makes the action a bit difficult to follow, but it sets a milestone for all epic poems to come, and even modern fantasy literature owes a lot to them.

I've always loved epic poems, and I'm trying to read at least all the great european ones. For now I've read "Poema de Mio Cid", ""La Chanson de Roland", "Das Nibelungenlied" and some of King Arthur's cycle. After that I'm planning on going for "Os Lusiadas". Do you feel I'm missing something? I don't know much about the ones of central and east Europe.
