<p>I've just read it. But I wonder if it's "appropriate" for school. It's incredibly gory - the most gory book I've ever read. It's even a lot more gory than the violent computer games I've played - I certainly DON'T want those details popping up into future computer games.</p>
<p>It is part of the Humane Letters curriculum for grade 11 in all the Great Hearts Charter Schools in the Phoenix area: Chandler Prep, Veritas Prep, Mesa Prep, and others.</p>
<p>I read it in 6th grade. :)</p>
<p>Charter school. lol</p>
<p>we’re reading it right now, actually</p>
<p>i’s SO much more interesting/exciting than the other stuff we read in engrish</p>
<p>I read the Oddysey in 9th grade, the real version. We read an uber basic and baby version of the illiad, about 90 pages prose large font lmao.</p>
<p>I was bored so I read it… in greek.</p>
<p>I think I had to read it in 6th grade. It might have just been the Odyssey though.</p>
<p>I read The Aeneid, which was also quite gory, although I don’t know how it compares to The Iliad</p>
<p>I saw Resident Evil 4, which was probably much more gory, visually.</p>
<p>I heard about Saw III years ago. But I wonder if it’s appropriate for school. It’s incredibly gory - the most gory movie I’ve ever heard rumors about. It’s even a lot more gory than the violent computer games I’ve played like Halo and NHL 10 - I certainly DON’T want those details popping up into future computer games.</p>
<p>I think I read 2 Books/Chapters in 9th grade.</p>
<p>I don’t think you guys read the real version in 6th grade. Probably a super baby-ed version of it. The Iliad and Oddysey are epic poems… thick literature</p>
<p>The version I read was pretty thick.</p>
<p>[Excerpt</a> from The Odyssey](<a href=“http://www.rheader.com/ebook_excerpt/a3/TheOdyssey000001.html]Excerpt”>http://www.rheader.com/ebook_excerpt/a3/TheOdyssey000001.html)</p>
<p>Like this one?</p>
<p>I don’t really have much memory of stuff I read a decade ago.</p>
<p>the Pope translation is, in my opinion, the most prestigious</p>
<p>I’ve always enjoyed Marcia WIlliams’ translation</p>
<p>You need to grow up if this book is too gory for you. Deal with it. It’s a great piece of literature.</p>
<p>“One was blind, like he who gave my surname
Such notoriety, and lit a flame
Of Romantic spirit that would prevail.”

<p>Plato wasn’t a big fan of Homer.</p>
