Recently finished the Iliad but was surprised that it encompassed a specific part of the whole story(like the constrction of the Horse and the subsequent destruction of Troy) as well as the previous events that led to a Athen and Hera to swear vengance on Paris and his homeland. I know very little from contextual notes about events that are outside of the Iliad and i am aware that much of the other information is contradictory due to being mostly folkloreor differnt interpretations of myths. Where is a good placeto study these parts of the story in detail?
I will never understand why they continue to depict Aten with armor.That thing is just a plot device at most, not even a representation of anything in particular.Wisdom and love and war is only male domains.Anyway, carry on.

>>25254180>read Ovid before Homer
>>25256073>don't read the stuff set before the Iliad before the Iliad!!!Ok, here's a version that makes it clearer
>>25256691I've read everything from both your lists, I just don't have marvel brain where I'm supposed to watch in plot order like a retarded kid. Books are meant to be read chronological from their creation, either from now to the past, or past to present.
