"Achilles in Vietnam"

For English class, we have had to read several excerpts of "Achilles in Vietnam" by Johnathan Shay. You can probably tell by the title that I found it related to our research about "The Trojan Women." At one point in the book, Shay talks about Achilles dragging Hector around, and I immediately knew what he was talking about because of the research we did about the battle of Troy, as well as the part in the play when Talthybius converses with Hecuba and Andromache about the event. The story that Shay related his veterans' experiences to was that of Achilles and Agamemnon, and I was proud of myself when I kenw the back story about them. I am starting to see theatre everywhere!
