Iliad

Achilles dragging Hector's body with his chariot

Iliad is one of the great epic poems of all times. I have watched Troy and it was a really great movie. But I can't say no more because I'm not really a fan of these warrior-survivor-typed of movie. I know that epics are really part of studying literature, but know me, I'm not really a fan. This epic is quite entertaining just because of the insertion of the gods and goddesses but it doesn't interests me. First of all, the character names are hard to remember. I don't know who's who or maybe it's just confusing. Second, this happened a long time ago, history bores me. And lastly, it's quite long to read. But no, I'm just kidding! I would sacrifice my time just to read this kind of epic because I am an English major student and I really have to improve my reading and comprehension skills so, you know! Hihi.
