7 Questions with the Author of The Wrath of Achilles, Ed DeHoratius

This video is the first in a series of interviews with authors of new and forthcoming titles from Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers.

Ed DeHoratius teaches Latin at Wayland High School in Wayland, Massachusetts, and was inspired by one of his students to write a trilogy of interactive fiction titles based on the Iliad, Odyssey, and Aeneid. His first book, The Wrath of Achilles, will debut in June at the American Classical League Summer Institute at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

Andrew Reinhard, Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers' Director of eLearning and contributing editor to the book, interviews DeHoratius on this new approach to learning these classic tales.

The illustrations in the video are from The Wrath of Achilles and were done by Brian Delandro Hardison.

About The Wrath of Achilles:

You are Achilles, the greatest hero Greece has ever known. You fight with honor and pride. Your skills at arms are unmatched. You have never experienced defeat. But on the battlefields of Troy you have a decision to make: stay true to your code of honor and not fight, or come to the aid of your countrymen and win fame and glory, becoming an even greater legend.

In The Wrath of Achilles, you become Achilles, hero of all of Greece. You confront the same choices he faced in the pages of Homers Iliad, but with a twist: you are in control of your destiny. You can choose a different path as you follow you fate. Thirteen different endings await you. Only one path leads to glory. Twelve lead do death, defeat, and shame.

Young people ages 8 and up will learn the Iliad from the inside out with dramatic text by Ed DeHoratius, dynamically illustrated by award-winning comic book artist Brian Delandro Hardison.
