This books has been truly incredible to read. Coming from a perspective that has never read a classic book before, I can say that this series, the audiobook I used as a guide, and The Odyssey have been absolutely wonderful. Thank you for taking me along this journey throughout these 25 parts!

If you're like me a student trying to revise here's some more context:
xenia - the greek hospitality, hexameter is the meter that the poem is written in, nostos - or nostoi is the homecoming,
