What is the best way to start with the greeks for someone that is not used to read? I might have convinced some friends to read The Iliad because of Nolan's next film, but I fear it will be too dense for them, and it also starts in media res which is a problem. I was thinking about recommending them Iphigenia at Aulis by Euripides since it is a good introduction to the plot and characters of The Iliad. I have thought of other alternatives like searching for a good introductory video on youtube (For example, a video explaining Paris' judgement or a video explaining all you need to know before The Iliad), or just explain it to them, but those options don't fully convince me. This is a golden chance and I don't want to miss it. What are your thoughts? Please consider that they are not usual readers.
HE WHO READS READS; HE WHO STARTS MUST FINISH.
Read Anabasis
