Title: CliffNotes meets Video
Review: I was expecting a filmic version of Homer's classic (something along the lines of _Helen of Troy_ or even the more recent tv version of _The Odyssey_). Instead I received a 40 minute "CliffNotes" version of this classic text on video. Stilted dialogue, bad acting, and amatuerish sets and costumes (Zeus carries around a cardboard lightening rod, while all the other gods continually walk around, and wave their hands at, a mirror ball that is suppose to represent Earth), mock Homer's text more than enlighten anyone to it. This tape may be useful in explaining _The Iliad_ to 1st graders, but then, maybe not.
