“The literary Trojans never had an odyssey.”
Wasn’t there a guy named Aeneas or something like that?
“If the announcer for a USC game openly roots for them, is he a homer?”
That would be Pete Arbogast, homer with a capital “H”
I’m seeing an odd mixture of reviews of the movie. It could be my own bias, but I get the feeling that reviewers who like the movie are really driven by their politics (though they don’t say that) and the reviewers who don’t like the movie just feel that they watched a movie that didn’t work well. I don’t plan to see it.
LOL!
Given that the film has a Black African playing Helen, and a female pretending to be a male playing a Greek warrior, what worse can USC do?
Are they jumping on the bandwagon or into a dumpster fire?
Strangely, this didn't make the movie.
Homer is the name of the operating system for the USC libraries (and I still have a card).
I will be skipping this particular interpretation.
‘Twould appear that no modern college has a functional non-STEM department. (And STEM is under attack. Soon 2+2 will equal 5 as 2 approaches 2.5)
Actually, the article author could do well to take a good Greek literature class himself.
The burning and destruction of Troy was foretold as a fate... in the Iliad—— but NOT reported there.
(Neither was it reported in the Odyssey — though there are four books of the Odyssey with partial recollections of the battle, etc.)
The actual fall and burning of Troy are detailed in the Epic Cycle, specifically a lost poem known as the Iliupersis (The Sack of Ilium), as well as in later works like Virgil’s Aeneid.
I guess we’ll find out which group of semi-professional football players, masquerading as university students will beat the same type of football players from the other universities. How exciting.
