I am in 9th grade and read the Odyssey and the Iliad over the summer and have to say they are great. The characters are very interesting/compelling and easy to relate to(Patroklos for me especially). Anyone who says these two poems are "boring, uninteresting, waste of time..." and so on do not know true literature. These are classic poems and deserve much respect. Anyways I guess my point is don't listen to the naysayers.... just read them and decide for yourself.
