I learned so much more about the Illiad and Achilles than I learned in a whole year of studying Greece in fourth grade.
It also made me think about why Achilles’ choices were successful, as opposed to choices that I thought were the right thing to do. It also gave me more information on the daily life of people in ancient Greece.
