That's a reason why the Iliad in itself was a bit disappointing. It's not self-aggrandizing shonen crap like Vedic Tales, but it is endless mindless violence interrupted by much more poignant and interesting sections. It actually shows you as much fun as fictional violence is for us boys that there is a fine limit to how much just becomes droning on and on. I've found of the old epics that Shahnameh has been the best written for me in terms of balancing action and story.

Like you bring up
