We’ve finished Book 12! We’re officially half-way through the Iliad, at least if you count by books.

Discussion Prompts
  1. What’s your favorite bird sign? Why?
  2. Who do you think is the “hero” of this book? Why?
  3. Why do you think there are so many “snow” similes?
  4. Who’s your favorite character in this book? Why?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
