i never read that. i think what makes the iliad so boring for me is that it is especially bland when compared to other classical greek literature. the odyssey was entertaining, fun and humorous and hat interesting characters. the story of heracles was entertaining, he had to rely on power, wits, and charme to achieve his goals while still being a demigod gigachad the entire time. then, in the iliad, it is pretty much just this back and forth happening for several years with no character development at all.
