Is there anyone alive who doesn't know this story? Hello? Hasn't EVERYONE heard the phrase "Trojan horse"? I wanted to smack

LOL.
As I was walking out of the theater, the woman behind me says to her husband, "OOOOOH!!! I'm guessing that this must've been why they named that virus a 'Trojan Horse' and the phrase 'Achilles Heel'."
I always that it was a requirement to read The Iliad during one of your English classes in high school. If not, it should be!!

We didn't read the Iliad, but we read the Odyssey freshman year in HS. I think she gave us an "outline" of the Iliad just for our information.

I agree that it should be. We never had to read it. We didn't read Shakespeare till grade 10 and then it was one play a year and they all were tragedies. We were told we didn't read comedies because we wouldn't udnerstand the humor.
More like the teachers didn't udnerstand it so they couldn't teach us (although my highschool English department was useless).
But since I'm a big girl now I am going to read it myself.

It's okay. I have a mini poster from the vido store pinned up at my desk.
It gives me something prety to look at every single day
