- Who it's for
- For anyone who wants to read, or give, one of the founding poems of literature in a handsome edition. It especially suits readers who enjoy adventure stories, since the poem weaves in many folk tales and legends.
- Why people still read it
- It is regarded as one of the peaks of epic poetry. Written in hexameters like the Iliad, unlike that poem it allows itself detours and digressions for the pleasure of telling stories.
