Fantastic historically and in simplifing the plots.

This book has very neatly drawn all the plot threads of the Iliad and Odyssey together in a succinct way. This should never be read instead of the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer, but as a historical enhancement. The illustrations are excellent and accurate for Mycenaean era culture in Greece. I am loving this addition to my library.
