Love and Loss
In this thematic unit, we will study the novel Black Ships Before Troy which tells the story of Homer's The Illiad. The love of Paris and Helen "launched a thousand ships" and began the Trojan War. The loss that followed was devastating. Mark Twain and others revisit the theme in their short stories, and the true stories of love and loss round out the unit with a non-fiction study.
