I was much more interested in the frame story than the retelling of the Iliad. If you're more excited about Greek mythology than I am, you would probably really like this.

Tuntud teksti ümberjutustus, (algtekst on) täis patriarhaalse kultuuri verist sousti: loomade ohverdamine, lihasöömine, loomade ja inimeste orjastamine, naiste kohtlemine asjadena, röövimine ja vägistamine.

Vägivallaorgia, mis on umbes sama sügavamõtteline nagu "Sõrmuste isand".

Kui midagi kõrva taha panna, siis ehk algteksti tõdemus, et ei ole kurvemat vaatepilti, kui koerad, kes jooksevad ringi, hallipäise vanamehe kehaosa(d) hambus.

In all honesty, I would only have the story about the village and the main characters. I found that the most intresting. Not the actual war of Troy.
