One of the first things that points out to me as something of significance is the portrayal of Homer. He is already old, which gives credence to the idea of the old wise storyteller.  For all we know, he could have written some of the works at a younger age. In addition, in sort of a source in source, the creator of the video shows an ancient Greek painting describing what the city would have looked like. Although the Iliad was not completely true, or at least had hyperbole, it was still rooted in actual events probably took place. It also shows the widespread use of inserting the Gods into true stories and creating new myths altogether. Another thing of historical significance is the fact that new ways of communication have allowed an ancient story to bypass almost all others in terms of how long it's been around and still be able to relay a message and be rewritten, retold, analyzed, etc. by a child.  The creator of this multimedia item also showed facts at the end that allowed him to connect the real from the myth and sort of explain maybe why the story is the way it is. For example, Homer's stories became so preserved partly because they gave the modern reader a glimpse of how Greek wars were, how they told their stories, and about their mythologies and connections to other religions. For example, Thetis appeals to Zeus after twelve days. In comparison, Bible stories have miracles and prayers involving the number twelve. The painting he also showed involving the war was similar to biblical paintings, in how they were drawn, how the people looked, what they wore, etc. The way that the creator retold Apollo's ten day sending of the plague over the dark painting reminded me of the power of God during a war.
