After reading the Odyssey the Aeneid seem like kind of a let down. It was the same story with the same characters told from a different point of view. The writing was very similar to Homers and it was just a rehashing of what we had already read. Needless to say I was rather unimpressed but it was still a pretty good read. If you want to read this book I would suggest giving a fair space between in and anything by Homer lest all you'll be able to think about is Homer.
