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.
