I only ask because you mentioned things like the Iliad. Which was covered in my english class because from my understanding it's more like historical fiction. Some elements are rooted in the real world but much is made up like Achilles. I personally have a strong memory of being sad when I learned the Trojan Horse was likely not real, thinking to myself "that cannot be, it's in my video game that I love so dearly for being based on history" lol. |
I hear you. I should have mentioned Homer more so than the Iliad. We didn't read it all in that class. However, the teacher (Mrs. Pierce) did have us read a few chapters of "The Odyssey." Which was ok, but based on events after the TW.
Personally, I believe in the Trojan Horse...It makes sense.....but at the least, it still applies to news today...."Trojan Horse PC virus is a real threat today."
The term "Achilles heel" is still one that resonates today, especially among athletes.......So, it's not all "fake", a lot of it is still relevant today.
