Stop approaching the Iliad like its young adult fiction. The larger than life characters are general representations of real people, through which ethical dilemmas are presented. How do soldiers who's lives revolve around brutally executing men on a daily basis show compassion towards one another and work together? What is Homer saying about love in the context of war when he narrates Diomedes so easily wounding Aphrodite on the battlefield? The more I think about the story, the more it grows on me.

Work out before reading. Work out until you can barely move, and when you are crumpled on the floor with your chest pounding that is the time time to read. You have to clear your head.

All literature is introspective. What are you even asking saying, dude? Stop acting like reading is some noble pursuit and just enjoy it. You can't just read one work and become some literati faggot, what you are looking is developed over time.

Just read the damn thing. It's a story that has been passed down for 3000 years. It's a genuinely enjoyable read.
