The Illiad and the Odyssey are essentially sports poems.  The battle
scenes are especially sporty.  I surveyed a Sophomore literature class
last spring, asking them what the last book was that they'd read.  All
the footbal players except one answered _Chapman's Complete Homer_.      

ObSal: Pencey football, stickball.
