Asking for Iliad spoilers
Aug. 21st, 2021 08:34 pmI knew that some people listen to other things while playing games, but I never did because I needed to concentrate on the game. Then recently I realized that actually, after more than 300 hours I'm good enough at Hades now that I have enough brainspace left to listen to something else. (At least when playing on low heat, which I mostly do atm.) But what to listen to? Then I had the great idea to listen to The Hades Community Iliad Reading, which fits perfectly. Various Hades community members reading chapters of the Iliad, with a foreword by Hades writer Greg Kasavin, a very cool project.
So far I've listened to the first twelve books. I've read a retelling of the Iliad before, but that was many years ago. I remembered the main points, but of course there was a lot that I forgot, or that never made it into the retelling in the first place.
( Some thoughts )
I recently started chapter 13, "Battling for the Ships," but all the fighting is less interesting. I want less action, more narrative ^^ Unfortunately, the chapter titles for the next few chapters make it sound like there will be mostly more fighting. I don't want to read ahead because I like rediscovering things; so I'd appreciate hints when there will be strong narrative threads again.
