For Friday, we'll be watching a few scenes from the 2004 film Troy, to preface our reading of Books 1 and 2 of The Iliad on Monday. Be sure you have the book and feel free to start reading if you know you're a slow reader or fear you might not be enthralled by an epic about heroes, gods, warfare, and love in the ancient world (but seriously, how could you not?). I will post questions for Books 1 and 2 on Friday, so check back after class for more details.
