Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 14, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I also just finished The War Nerd Iliad. I found it amazing, accessible to modern readers yet I think it also captures the tone of the original well. The fine line between gruesome and sad descriptions of death and 'glorious' muscular war.

I also loved that it's faithful to the original structure (omitting the Catalogue of Ships, thankfully).

Really stayed with me, and I found it better than War Music by Christopher Louge .
