HOMER's Iliad

Good morning guys and girls (Ladies and Jellybeans!!!)

We're going to begin learning about Early Greek Literature and the oldest greatest story ever told (other than the Epic of Gilgamesh).  Around the 800's a blind poet named Homer lived and came up with 2 epic poems that really changed literature and we're still reading these stories called the Iliad and the Odyssey.
