Lol, the prose is one of the few parts I unabashedly like. I’ve read Homer in Greek as well as works that take place in distant, ancient times, and I thought that the choice to mostly eschew Greek-root and even Latinate words was a good one. You go the feeling of pre-history, which considering princes in Bronze Age Greece were likely barely literate, this story was. If only it were in service of more interesting characters.
