My all time favorite epic is mahabharat
Idk if anyone read jaya here by devdutt patnayak. He starts jaya by chapter ... Years into future lineage of pandavs does soen yagya and it starts with janmajaya you don't know what your x family member did
Seeds of dharmic war is sowed generations ahead. Bhismas time it started. Went on in pandu time. Then 3rd gen had the war and it changed world forever
Also each character has stakes. They have their own backstory. They are part of war for their own motives. Krishna is grey. Karna is kamina bt loyal. Both sides of brothers are right in their ways. Arjun is a mighty warrior bt also scared to kill his own family. Yudhishthir is weak, too dharmic.
Also very interesting draupadis side of family. Her sister/brother. People blame her alot bt she's also a catalyst
Yep time to reread it lol
