Hello Readers

This is a short little announcement post to let you know that, after some consideration (and an epic oversight on my behalf) we will be reading the 'Epitome' and discussing it after we finish the Iliad.

We had intended to take a break between the Iliad and the Aeneid, but we will now be reading and posting a discussion post for the Epitome during that time. The discussion post will go up on the weekend of September 9.

For those that have read both Book 3 and the Epitome for this week - I'm sorry for my oversight. When I set up the schedule I used the Oxford eBook edition to match the division of the books to the weeks. I assumed that we got a short section about the Iliad and the Odyssey at the end of Book 3 - not essentially a whole other book. As the Epitome has a different name than the other books I didn't notice it until I was reading it myself.

As the Epitome provides us with a lot of info on what happens following the Iliad I think it will fit into our (revised) schedule really well. At the least, it will set us up for starting the Aeneid with a bit more knowledge of what is going on back in Greece during the same timeframe.

Again, I am sorry for my oversight and any inconveniences it has caused.
