Reading Notes: Homer's Iliad, Part A

Iliad: How the War with Troy Began

This was the first story of the unit and I suddenly could see myself writing my own story based on the beginning of the Iliad. I could maybe set a different theme like in Mexico whenever the Charros from back then were machos and would always have disputes over women. I could portray Helen as the daughter of a rich hacienda man. Paris and Menelaus could be rival countrymen or even from the Civil War. There are lots of different story plots I could write about from this so I'll try this one out!
