the Iliad, perhaps because it includes more features of mythology 26 readers.
Its subject (to use Maynard Mack’s categories) is “life-as-spectacle”: for readers,
27 by its various incidents, observe its hero Odysseus primarily from without;
the tragic Iliad, however, presents “life-as-experience”: readers are asked to identify
with the mind of Achilles, 28 motivations render him a not particularly likable
hero. In addition, the Iliad, more than the Odyssey, suggests the complexity of the
gods’ involvement in human actions, and 29 that modern readers find this
complexity a needless complication, the Iliad is less satisfying than the Odyssey,
with its simpler scheme of divine justice. Finally, since the Iliad present a
historically verifiable action, Troy’s siege, the poem raises historical questions
30 the Odyssey’s blithely imaginative world.
