- En el décimo año del asedio de Troya, Aquiles riñe con Agamenón y se encierra enfurruñado en su tienda, y la guerra gira en torno a su cólera. Las batallas son brutales, pero lo que perdura es la despedida de Héctor de su esposa y su bebé, y el dolor de un viejo rey.
- Fair warning, it's long and blood-soaked, and the battle scenes name every man who falls. But underneath is Achilles wrecked by grief, and that scene where Priam kneels before his son's killer will stay with you; if you can handle slow patches, it earns everything.
- You get a strange, funny, sometimes brutal journey home, but the real pleasure is watching Penelope and Telemachus hold their lives together while Odysseus keeps meeting monsters, gods, and his own cleverness. The episodic structure takes patience, yet its images and voices stay wonderfully vivid.
