Reading Notes: Homer's Iliad part A

For this reading I found it interesting that the stories reminded me of the movie Troy. I could really see the movie playing out in my head as I read. Besides that side note the reading overall showed some great things to add to the idea of making my project. The dialogue was really intriguing at first because it was a little difficult to understand, but as the stories played out there was more understanding of what was being said. I thought it was pretty cool how the stories all came together to make one big story. One story would end and the other would continue right where the other left off. Although I have read about the Greek mythology before it just seemed like there was more added to these stories, so while I am looking through other stories I will keep in mind that creating more detail is a good way to make a story more interesting. Overall I think there is some good detail to look at in those stories and I especially like the way that Achilles' mother helps him out with talking to Zeus. The way they all come together is the main focus on this reading.
