Be sure you've completed the questions for Book XXII (below) for Wednesday's class. Otherwise, we'll watch a few more scenes from Troy, chiefly the scene between Hector and Achilles. I also want to discuss the women in the book a bit more, particularly Andromache, Hector's wife.
If you've fallen behind in responses, now is an easy time to catch up, since we only have 1 more for The Iliad, then we'll have a short break before we start on Shakespeare's Othello. Remember that mid-term grades come out soon, and frequent absences and lack of daily responses are the major factors that will hurt your grade. The only way to fail this class is simply not participating and doing the work. Don't be a mid-semester casualty!
