I have been in love with greek and roman mythology for years but this is the first time I have read one of the sources for them. I think I feared that the writing style would be too 'antique'. I was delightfully surprised by Fagles' translation and found this to be a fascinating read and gave flesh and depth to many of the myths I thought I knew.

This is a romantic adventure where a man perseveres to reunite with his wife through harsh travels.
