Homer's Iliad is considered one of the earliest - and greatest - epics of all time. But what exactly does that epic mean? In this reading response, I want you to tell me about what you think makes Homer's Iliad epic. Spend half the response discussing the stylistic and content elements of Homer's Iliad that lead to this being called an epic. Make sure to support your analysis with at least three citations from Book I of Homer's Iliad. Then spend the second half of the response comparing and contrasting Homer's epic with an epic from the modern world. This could be a movie or a song or a book, really anything that you feel like would classify as an epic. Remember there are no right or wrong answers, here. Just make a thoughtful comparison.
