Oh, pardon me.[sr]I was so caught up in this book I didn't even see you!

@Fionn
Hm? What sort of masterful writing could cause a man[sr]as great as myself to make such a careless mistake?
[k]
@Fionn
Oh, it's nothing, really. Just a book with the simple title of “Fionn mac Cumhaill: Knight of Gold.”

Not at all, good sir. If anyone should beg pardon here, it is I. I am in the same boat as you, Sir Fionn.

I, too, never thought I would[sr]ever be so engaged with books...

My beloved wife would be worried sick if she[sr]saw me so absorbed in a book, of all things.

In fact, she would almost certainly suspect me of using it to cover up adultery, or some other distasteful business!

@Fionn
By all means. I would be happy to let you read it.

The Iliad, Homer's Greek epic.

@Mash
It's about the Trojan War.[sr]The one Achilles and Hektor fought in.

?1:A lot of the Heroic Spirits here love that book.
[charaFace F 1]
@Mash
Oh yes!
[k]
@Mash
The way it's written really makes you feel as if you're right there watching the Greeks and Trojans waging this war on behalf of the Greek gods.
[k]
@Mash
It's a tragic story, so full of death...
[k]
@Mash
...but it also has such beautiful depictions[sr]of strength and valor on both sides...

?2:Didn't a guy named Heinrich Schliemann excavate the ruins of Troy?
[charaFace F 1]
@Mash
Yes, he did!
[k]
@Mash
The Iliad was thought to be entirely fictional for a long time, but thanks to Heinrich Schliemann, an archaeologist from the late nineteenth century, many people now believe this story reflects real historic events.
[k]
@Mash
It's a true Mystic, weaving history and mythology together like few other historical works.

Murasaki Shikibu was born in Japan during the Heian period, just like Raikou and Kintoki.
[k]
?1:I think...she was an author, right?
[charaFace F 1]
@Mash
Yes! She's best known for The Tale of Genji,[sr]the very first novel in recorded history!
[k]
[charaFace F 13]
@Mash
It takes place during the Heian period, focusing specifically on noble society and the exploits of its titular character Hikaru Genji.
[k]
@Mash
But Murasaki Shikibu was also a famous tanka poet. Some of her poems are included in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, which is still used in karuta to this day.
[k]
?2:She's the tanka poet who wrote The Tale of Genji!
