Press Release 



Every image, every word of the "Iliad" is enchanting, it makes you admire the supreme poet of mankind, Homer!



Given the fact that poet isolates only fifty one days from the tenth year of the Trojan War in the “Iliad”, it is necessary to teach the children how we arrived at the Trojan War and who played a leading part in it: Helen, Paris, Achilles, Menelaus, Hector, Agamemnon...



All will come to life in front of the children’s eyes:



The birth of Helen, her marriage with Menelaus and her flight with Paris.

The birth of Achilles.



The council of the Greek generals.



The beginning of the Trojan War.



The capture of Chryseis.

Then we will move ahead to the "Iliad":

The wrath of Achilles and his strife with Agamemnon.



His withdrawal from the battle.



The participation of the Olympian gods.



The battle between the Greeks and the Trojans.



The death of Patroclus.

Achilles' revenge and the death of Hector.



And this is where the "Iliad" ends. But not our performance... 
We continue and we complete the Trojan War, talking about the death of Achilles, the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy.

And all these always with respect and love to our little friends and with the signature of Karmen Rouggeri.
