Welcome to my blog party! We’re partying throughout the month of July. Today I’ve relaunched my website shananorris.com with a whole new look, so if you’re reading this through Livejournal you can pop over there to take a look! Also, the Troy High page has been expanded to give more details about my version of the retelling and also includes links to different websites with more information on the events and people involved in the Trojan War.
Here’s the first bit of trivia I’ve released about Troy High:
It’s obvious where Troy High got its name, but the name of the other high school in the story, Lacede High, was also inspired by Ancient Greece: Sparta was referred to by the ancient Greeks as Lacedaemon. According to Greek mythology, Lacedaemon was a son of Zeus and married Sparta. He named his country after himself and the capital after his wife. Lacedaemon is now the name of a province in the Greek prefecture Laconia, where the ancient site of Sparta lies. From Lacedaemon, I created the school name of Lacede High School, home of the Spartans.
There will be a video sneak peek at Troy High posted tomorrow, so check back for that!
Now, since this is a party, we’re going to dance. As a tribute and because it’s one of those songs that I absolutely cannot resist dancing to, we’re kicking off with Thriller!
(It’s just the dance part because all of the full version videos have disabled embedding. But you can go here to see the full video.)
