    The battles are vividly described, and the pace is engaging. A great way to experience this classic!

  2. Satyaswarup Prusty

    Foroux’s version made the story surprisingly easy to follow. I enjoyed it, though I wish there was a bit more depth to the characters.

  3. Tanish Mahawar

    I struggled a bit with some of the names, but overall, this was a worthwhile read. The themes still resonate today.

  4. Dhruv Bansal

    This version really brought the characters to life for me. I found myself invested in their fates.

  5. Kartikey Singh

    While it was a good retelling, it lacked the depth I was hoping for. I was expecting more.

    It’s a decent version, but I think there are better translations available. This one felt simplified.

    A fantastic update to a classic! The perfect way for modern readers to get into The Iliad.

  11. Sudhanshu Yadav

    Darius Foroux’s rendition is a fantastic introduction to Homer’s classic. A must-read for any classics enthusiast!

  12. Anushka Bhartiya

    It felt a bit too modern for my taste. I prefer a translation that captures the original style better.

  13. Shaurya Deshwal

    Some parts were gripping, others dragged on. It’s a mixed bag, but worth checking out.

  14. Mrityunjay Sharma

    A good introduction to the Iliad. The language is accessible, but I sometimes missed the poetic feel of other translations. Still a solid read.

  15. Abhimanyu Anurag

    I enjoyed the updated language. A great way to approach such an old story.

  16. Samadrita Sen

    While readable, I found the tone a little flat in places. It got the key point across but lacked excitement.

  17. Shiv Sharma

    I was hoping for something more evocative. It’s okay, but not my favorite translation.

  18. Devansh Bansal

    This edition helped me understand the Iliad better than previous attempts. A truly epic story.

  19. Adarsh Kumar Singh

    I appreciated the clarity of this translation. It made a complex story easy to understand. I highly recommend.
