Boris Johnson Recites Homer's Iliad

Whatever deeper meaning you wish to attribute to this video of Boris Johnson reciting some passages from the Iliad in Attic Greek, I post it as a rousing affirmation of the Western literary canon. This happened in Melbourne some six years ago. 

 Consider it a holiday gift, from me to you.

    Not just "some passages" but the very beginning "Sing Goddess of the anger of Peleus's son Achilles . . ." and so on.
