Iliad-an ancient Greek epic poem,
describing the siege and capture of Troy, ascribed to Homer and probably composed
by oral tradition over several centuries before 700 B.C.
I personally did not know much about
this “poem” but the Biz tells me that “O Brother, Where Art Thou” was based on
it. I wasn’t sure if I believed him or
not so I looked it up and according to Wikipedia the movie was: Set in 1937
rural Mississippi[3] during the Great Depression, the film's story is a modern
satire loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey. OK – Odyssey, Iliad – can anybody set
me/him straight?
o brother where art thou, loved it! and i recognized the similarities enhancing it =)
