by

Entertaining adaptation of Homer’s epic poem that you may enjoy watching, directed by Andrei Konchalovsky. Originally a 1997 mini-series, here edited down to a film.

Pick three scenes from the film (approximately beginning, middle, and end) and explain how they parallel and differ from Homer’s poem. This may be either plot or characterization: in other words, what’s similar and/or different about what happens or how people behave?

You’re advised to read the Mark Fiore summary first (long version, preferably) to give you a complete grounding in the poem before beginning your paper. 1000 words,12-pt. Type.
