STORY TIME: The Trojan War in 17 Minutes - Homer’s Iliad, Mr. Freewalt’s Version

BONUS STORY TIME with Mr. Freewalt

This is my own retelling of the Trojan War, inspired by Homer’s Iliad and told in one sitting — 17 minutes of dramatic storytelling that brings to life Achilles, Hector, Patroclus, Agamemnon, and the infamous Trojan Horse.

This isn’t a textbook summary — it’s my version, the way I share it with my students: engaging, fun, and packed with the legendary moments that made this one of history’s greatest epics.

In this STORY TIME you’ll hear:

The rage of Achilles and his clash with Agamemnon
The tragedy of Patroclus
Hector’s stand at the gates of Troy
The cunning Trojan Horse and the fall of the city

This is a Have To Know History BONUS episode — a full-length storytelling piece recorded while I prepare for my upcoming episode on Helen of Troy: The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships.
