I am not very familiar with Oddysy or other ancient Greek litrature, so I really enjoyed getting to know the Greek characters.
I read the Iliad just before reading Illium, so it seemed a bit strange - the change from classical mythology to sci-fi was quite jarring, especially when they focus on the same characters. I don't think it was a particularly bad book, but just that it didn't seem to be the finished product. Given a bit of polishing off it could be quite cool.
