The longest word in English(Except for Sciencetic word)
Floccinaucinihilipilification [FLOK-sih-noh-see-NEE-hee-lee-PEE-lih-fih-KAY-shun]
[플록시노시나이힐리필리피케이션]
Definition of Floccinau,,,,,,tion: The estimation of something as worthless.
The term is usually used as an example of a very long word. It originates from the Latin words flocci, nauci and pili, and it appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary's first edition (published in separate sections between 1884-1928). The Dictionary cites it as humorous and gives the following examples of its usage:
[e.g]I loved him for nothing so much as his floccinaucinihilipilification of money.-William Shenstone, Letters
They must be taken with an air of contempt, a floccinaucinihilipilification of all that can gratify the outward man. -Sir Walter Scott, Journal
예문)나는 그 다른 이유보다 그가 돈에 가치를 두지 않는 점 때문에 그를 사랑했다
The Logwst word ever
Lopadotemakhoselakhogameokranioleipsanodrimypotrimmatosilphiokarabomelitokatakekhymenokikhlepikossyphophattoperister- alektryonoptokephalliokigklopeleiolagōiosiraiobaphētraganopterýgōn
The original Greek spelling had 171 characters (something which is not obvious in the Roman transcription, depending on the variant) and for centuries it was the longest word known.
The longest word in Science
(발음:뉴모노울트라마이크로스코픽실리코볼케이노코니오시스)
IN BRIEF: A lung disease caused by breathing in particles of siliceous volcanic dust.
Tutor's tip: Supposedly the President of The National Puzzlers' League, E. Smith, in 1935 created this new "longest word" (45 letters). While he wasn't able to convince people to use it, it was included in various dictionaries!

TROY
Try this quiz on Troy
Try another Quiz :)
Use this website as a background on the Film
Literary works are divided into various categories called genres in accordance with their characteristic form and content. The Iliad belongs to the genre of epic.
When you first read the Iliad, the beginning of the poem can present some difficulty because it assumes a general familiarity with the war between the Trojans and Greeks that most modern readers, unlike the ancient Greeks, do not possess.
The code which governs the conduct of the Homeric heroes is a simple one. The aim of every hero is to achieve honor, that is, the esteem received from one's peers. Honor is essential to the Homeric heroes, so much so that life would be meaningless without it. Thus, honor is more important than life itself.
A hero's honor is determined primarily by his courage and physical abilities and to a lesser degree by his social status and possessions. The highest honor can only be won in battle.
The GODS resemble human beings and tend to act in a human way, displaying all human emotions, virtues and vices. Their anthropomorphism is further illustrated by the patriarchal organization of the divine family, which imitates the patriarchy of human society.
When you attempt a character analysis,(which you will be presenting on THURSDAY) there are a number of things that you must take into consideration. The personality of any character is revealed in what the character says, thinks and does, and what other characters and the author in his own person say about that character. Although the evaluation of the personality of a character is most important in a character analysis, you should not neglect physical appearance and condition, which also can have an important effect on character and action.
The word 'tragedy' primarily used of a dramatic work, that is, a play in which a central character called a tragic protagonist or hero suffers some serious misfortune which is not accidental and therefore meaningless, but is significant in that the misfortune is logically connected with the hero's actions. 'Tragedy' and its adjective 'tragic', however, can be used of any literary work containing a protagonist whose actions lead to disaster for himself and others.
Questions for Today:
Why are the Greeks and Trojans fighting?
What is the cause of the fight between Agamemnon and Achilles?
Which gods fight for the Greeks? Which fight for Troy? Why?
What is Achilles’ reaction after Patroclus’ death?
How does Achilles honor Patroclus and dishonor Hector?
What are the results of Priam’s meeting with Achilles? Why?
Contrast Hector and Achilles. Which do you like better? Why?
Here is a list of characters in The Illiad
And this will be hard but try this quiz on The Illiad the book The Movie Tory is based on.
These questions can be done in pairs and must be written down or emailed to me .
Project:Research a character from Troy and make sure you relate most of these points in your presentation.
• physical traits - what the character looks like, how he/she dresses, how he moves
• psychological/personality traits
• motivation
• behavior /actions
• relationships - with other characters in the story, how others see/react to him/her
• weaknesses/faults
• strengths/virtues
• moral constitution - often a character will agonize over right and wrong
• protagonist/antagonist - does the story revolve around this character’s actions?
• complex/simple personality
• history and background
• change - has the character changed during the course of the story? What was his/her
motivation? Why?
• similarities and differences of the characters
• Does the character have a function in the story?
I will be using this rubric to grade your presentations.

heracles
Heracles
In Greek mythology, Heracles or Herakles ("glory of Hera", or "Glorious through Hera," Alcides (original name) "Ἥρα + κλέος, Ἡρακλῆς)" was a divine hero, the son of Zeus and Alcmene, nephew of Amphitryon[1] and great-grandson of Perseus. He was the greatest of the Greek heroes, a paragon of masculinity, the ancestor of royal clans who claimed to be Heracleidae and a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters. In Rome and the modern West, he is known as Hercules, with whom the later Roman Emperors, in particular Commodus and Maximianus, often identified themselves. The Romans adopted the Greek version of his life and works essentially unchanged, but added anecdotal detail of their own, some of it linking the hero with the geography of the Central Mediterranean. Details of his cult were adapted to Rome as well.
Extraordinary strength, courage, ingenuity, and sexual prowess with both males and females were among his characteristic attributes. Although he was not as clever as the likes of Odysseus or Nestor, Heracles used his wits on several occasions when his strength did not suffice, such as when laboring for the king Augeas of Elis, wrestling the giant Antaeus, or tricking Atlas into taking the sky back onto his shoulders. Together with Hermes he was the patron and protector of gymnasia and palaestrae.[2] His iconographic attributes are the lion skin and the club. These qualities did not prevent him from being regarded as a playful figure who used games to relax from his labors and played a great deal with children.[3] By conquering dangerous archaic forces he is said to have "made the world safe for mankind" and to be its benefactor.[4] Heracles was an extremely passionate and emotional individual, capable of doing both great deeds for his friends (such as wrestling with Thanatos on behalf of Prince Admetus, who had regaled Heracles with his hospitality) and being a terrible enemy who would wreak horrible vengeance on those who crossed him, as Augeas, Neleus and Laomedon all found out to their cost
