For starters, the book is beautifully connected (you can touch for fear of damaging it). The story, if one knows nothing of Greek mythology, can be quite tough so I advise you to buy an encyclopedia or a book that will help you in your reading. Here are two links that will surely serve to the uninitiated: Homer is a book that presents each chapter of the Iliad and the Odyssey summary and Little encyclopedia of Greek mythology is itself an encyclopedia that will help you to know the main characters (Agamemnon, Achilles, Pâris, gods and goddesses ...).
The book is printed very small, which may adversely affect some reading. The pages are very thin (paper Bible), which gives the book a small appearance as a pocket. Beautifully translated this book is to discover or rediscover !!!
