What ship book should I read next?

I’ll be moving to Germany to study in October from the United States. Currently I’m working on my student visa and one of the requirements is proof of health insurance. Based on my research I have to get statutory student health insurance. Can someone confirm this and recommend a provider if that is the next steps?

I have read both The Song of Achilles and The Iliad and enjoyed them both, but I think they should exist together. I have seen book influencers and celebrity Daniel Radcliffe say to skip reading the Iliad because it’s too long and read The Song of Achilles instead. I think it’s so disappointing to try influence people to skip such an important book in history. a few months ago an Egyptian mummy was found with the Iliad in its tomb from 1,600 years ago. Napoleon had a copy while conquering Europe. Am I being too dramatic?
