The Iliad as an example of out-of-the-classroom knowledge.
Yeah.
Not knowing about the Illiad is understandable, never having heard of the Trojan War isn't.
Not knowing about the Trojan War is even understandable imo. After all, it's likely a completely fictional war. But not having at least a basic understanding of who Achilles is, whose heel is referenced fairly often in modern culture? yikes
Even so that alone isn't enough to say this kid is actually dumb or anything
