The Big Horse

The story takes place during the Trojan war between the Trojans and the Greeks. In order to gain momentum, Odysseus creates a master plan to make a giant horse, hide some Greeks in it, and use it as entry into the walled city of Troy. Makes sense. So, he does it, the Trojans get drunk while celebrating their new horse, and they all die because of it. 

First of all, this story is absolutely perfect for Hollywood. It has action, intelligence, and alcohol: the winning combination for American entertainment. I'm not exactly sure if I'm supposed to get any kind of sentimental feeling or learn anything except Odysseus is a brilliant character, but if I am, I clearly don't get it.

A journey I would love to take is a soccer tour around the entirety of Europe. I think seeing a game at every major stadium in Europe would be the absolute dream trip for me. Not only am I interested in the wide variety of Euro-culture, but I also love traveling at a fast pace. The only worry I would have about that is that I would get burned out on the sport, and become disenchanted with watching it. That would be a tragedy. 

In an effort to sum up my entire blog, here is evidence of a very real soccer league for horses
