With the new movie out I harken back to my high school days and Latin classes. What a great time.

Have not seen the movie yet but I read it in HS. Then realized that I have never read The Iliad.

So I have started and it is fascinating. Like reading Shakespeare it takes a bit to get into the tempo of unusual (for us) sentence structure - like the verb always at the end. But soon into Book I it clicks in.

Heartily recommended. You can download it at Project Gutenberg for no cost.

Let me know what you think and good reading.
