![]() ![]() In college, I read more pieces of it for a Western Literature class. At some point I had a paperback of it on my shelf, but which edition or when I actually read it, is as shrouded in my mind as the facts surrounding the ancient city of Troy itself. Certainly it has influenced tons of media (a personal favorite of mine being Led Zeppelin’s Achilles’ Last Stand which apparently is more about tax evasion than Greek warriors), and will continue to do so for eternities to come.īut for me, I think my first look at the Iliad was probably in the sixth grade although I’m not certain how much of it we actually read, or whether or not it was just summary. It’s the kind of story that you feel you’ve always known, even though you can hardly remember the first time you’ve heard it. ![]() ![]() I can’t really remember a time when I didn’t have some conception of Achilles’ legend. ![]()
