Ebertus Rex
As much as I expect the new Troy movie to be an absolute travesty, Roger Ebert's assessment of what Greek drama is all about is about as mature as a junior high latin student's book report might be. I think Rog must have read the comic book version of the Iliad.
What's sad, I didn't know the comic book version actually existed. I was just going to link to a respectable Lattimore translation or something. On a hunch, I searched "Iliad comic" on Amazon, and that's what I found.
Homer: (from the grave) Doh!
