Same! I always wanted to go deeper into the two, but it feels intimidating, especially since it’s been a while since I’ve practiced any book analysis. But I think starting off with some modern ones ones, some easy reads, will eventually give me the courage, and understanding, I need to return to the originals! I do remember enjoying the odyssey, but as someone who hadn’t read for a long time, I knew it would be difficult to dive right in to the text. So, the book and all the suggestions in the comments will be nice buffers.
