Yay, I love that you love Homer so much! Have no fear, you are making perfect sense despite the narcotics. Although you have a "1" in an implication that you are beginning a numbered list that goes no further than a single point. :DDD
I like your ending theory too! Now I want to go back and reread the ending again with both yours and Calvina's theories in mind and see what I think is up.
OKAY if you think the Iliad is that awesome then I am totally reading it! Except I don't have a copy sitting readily to hand like I did the Odyssey, so I'll have to go find myself a copy. Do you know what the good translations are? I liked Fagles' Odyssey, but it would be good to have multiple options when I go searching used bookstores!
Also, yes, you are NOT THE ONLY ONE that thinks that the symmetry of composition is cool. THAT IS SO COOL.
