The 6 minute Iliad - what a way to introduce this book!

[CynthiaOK]

While working on my class plans for the fall, I ran across this. My oldest (who has read the Iliad already) thought it was a hoot. Anyways, I think I'll use it on our first day of the Iliad. I have a lot of early teen boys taking the course.;)

Everybody be sure to listen, not just read, as you will hear..."The Six Minute Iliad, starring Jack Nicholson as Achilles, Elvis Presley as Agamemnon, and Ross Perot as Hector, with Mr. Rogers as Odysseus."

Too funny! Thanks for posting this!

:lol:

I did have to try to explain Ross Perot to my son - but he's rather a hard sort to explain :-). But he was familiar with Mr. Rogers and though he was the best part of the parody.
