I do have to agree with Mordir that the Iliad is great, but the Odyssey is a little less boring at certain parts. Both are gorey but especially the Iliad. Here's the battle scenes in a nutshell, "Achilles' spear went threw his neck and out his left cheek and he fell and wailed as he bit the bloody iron on the sand." That's honestly not an exaggeration.

 I also like the Odyssey for some character reasons... name related reasons...
