Troy

Newsweek arrived today and included a little chart (on p.67) comparing/contrasting the movie Troy to The Iliad. My favorite:

"Sure, Brad's hot in a skirt. Read the poem, and you'll see that Patroclus might have noticed."

YES! Kisses to the Newsweek staff writer!

Troy

Haven't seen movie yet, but just finished a nice story called "Troy" by Adele Geras. I found it in the teen section of my library, but I throroughly enjoyed it. It tells the story of Troy and nicely intersperses conversations with the Gods; something I have heard the movie totally leaves out.
