to Wood: guess they're following the book, which starts on Calypso's island, then he tells most of the actual Od as flashback, hence the weird order of events. Sorry to be such a lit professor! too funny tho! :)
None of them was originally written; the Iliad and Odyssey were oral compositions from approximately 7th century BC, in a Greek dialect, that were eventually collated and written down. They discuss features of warfare from as far back as the 12th century BC, so they are probably based on sung/spoken stories from at least that long ago. Yeah, I'm a pedantic Classics nerd.
Completely differently, the Aeneid was in Latin, intended to be READ (aloud, but from a text), written by just one person in about 10-15 years, around 900-600 years after the Iliad and Odyssey were composed. Although it does deliberately imitate both earlier poems and covers the same period of the Trojan war/aftermath.
Twitter users are almost as cool as wikigeniuses - walking trivia machines which exist only dispense useless information. Get back to flipping my burgers.
Hi everyone. You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.

April 7th, 2009 at 06:04 am
No, Latin was the Aenid, the Illiad was written in Greek too.

Are you a moron? The Iliad and the Odyssey were written in ancient Greek by Homer. The Aeneid was written in Latin.
April 7th, 2009 at 05:45 am
This is so great! Hope it's ok that I use it in class?

April 10th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
I really think that the Iliad needs to be done in this style.
"Angry."
"Still angry."
"Even angrier."
"*Stabby death*"
"Oh, fuck, my tendon."
