Is there a bigger pussy in history than Orlando Bloom in that movie?

It is more then the Iliad.
I would at least add Faust, The Divine Comedy, The Ramayana(most questionable), One Thousand and One Nights, and The Aeneid.
Edit: Of course The Odyssey, just figured that was a given.

So that is all the great works in History and that is what should be required reading for all schools?

Which is the most significant? The Iliad, The Odyssey, or The Aeneid? When I was studying the Aeneid in highschool latin, I think either the teacher or book claimed that it is the second most studied book in western civilization. I guess you don't have either of the other two without The Iliad though.

Given the pedantic nature of your post this is pretty ironic. Sorry for going grammar nazi on you.

There are a fair amount of Jesuit grads around here. A lot of people probably even had the same teachers. Shout out to Showalter Knight.
Eta: My latin was and is horrible.

I read it in Western Civ freshman year at LSU. But I skipped the part where Homer spends 20 pages listing the names of the ships and their crew.

I was in AP English, we read it my junior year. I read the odyssey prior cause it's an awesome freaking story.
Seriously though, the Brad Pitt version wasn't terrible. I really liked the Mel Gibson version of Hamlet.
