funnygirl Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 We are approaching the end of our first read-aloud, "The Children's Homer", and my dd13 keeps asking if there's a movie. SURELY there have been movies made about the Odyssey or the Iliad. My question is, are they appropriate? What have you seen? Recommendations??

itsheresomewhere Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I know there was one made by NBC(?) awhile ago. It was great, perfect for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The one with Amand Assante is quite good, but I don't know that it will be completely appropriate for young children. You may want to pre-screen - especially the part with the goddess Callipso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Crown Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Whatever you do, don't watch Troy. Or rather, watch the (unintentionally) amusing bits. Such as: . Don't be drinking coffee! ETA: Not only not appropriate, but pity the hapless freshman who decides to watch the movie instead of read the book for his Western Lit survey....
