I've already picked this up as text and should get to it soon. As for the audio, I love Audra McDonald and of course the original experience of
The Iliad was aural and I'm thoroughly familiar with the story (as the earliest audiences would have been) so it would be easy to follow.... Just the same, I think it could be a tough listen and I've got a credit I could burn at that!
Just my take on it.
