I agree. The iliad isn't as slow and I like the characters better.
Achilles is a bit stroppy but that's sort of his calling card, isn't it?
I liked Patroclus.
[When he'd first read the book, he'd immediately pictured Achilles as Curt, and Patroclus as Brian Slade; these days, there's a small, shy part of him that wishes he could play that role, but his sense wins out, and he doesn't mention it.]
