Oh I'm glad! I first heard of it last year when I had a horrible overnight train ride where I tried to fall asleep by putting on the audiobook of the Iliad. Mentioned it to my dad and he quoted the first two lines at me. Me: "Oh my god my dad's a poet????" 😂
Thanks for sharing this poem. Loved it so much I just went out and bought the collection it appears it! The mood in it is so palpable. Enchanting.

That's an oddly specific circumstance you shared with the poem!
