WOOT

Why I am looking this shit? I think you must get a life.

wow!

this was brilliant! it's so rare to see someone who appreciates the classics, at least where I'm from. my only advice is to work on your animation a little. everyone's movements looked really awkward, and maybe a little choppy. but other than it was great!

bsmylie responds:

Thanks! There are six more scenes to Book 22 and another seven scenes of Book 23 that I have completed. Book 24, the final book of Iliad is in the planning stages. Maybe you will see an improvement in my animation. Susan Katz, her voice and poetry is perfect for the story; she is a marvellous Homeric and bardic storyteller. If you click on the 19th century public domain Butler text at the end of the scenes you will see how close she is to the traditional feel of Iliad. Other than my animation, this might be close to how the story was told before it was written in Greek between 2,700 and 3,500 years ago... it must have been like a live radio play.
