I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this Robert Fagles translation of Iliad in the second hand bookstore.

A hardback Robert Fagles's translation of Iliad in mint condition? I immediately jumped on it. Now the Fagles family is finally complete (I had the Odyssey and Aeneid in hardback already) on my bookshelf.

Rereading the Iliad reminds me that the clash of heroes and intervention of gods as fate or destiny can be so vividly manifested in a modern NBA game.
