Thought that this little item, "L=E2=80=99Iliade : Boris Johnson se met en = sc=C3=A8ne - D=C3=A9sintox - ARTE", dated "Jan 2, 2020", might be of at least some inter= est to the list. ( Click on "SHOW MORE" for the full text . ) In addition to the video at the top, there's a reference in the third paragraph ( "Une internaute, se pr=C3=A9sentant comme hell=C3=A9niste de l= angue maternelle et ayant =C3=A9tudi=C3=A9 le grec ancien, =C3=A9crit dans un mes= sage partag=C3=A9 35 000 fois sur Twitter qu=E2=80=99elle ne comprend rien de ce que raconte le Britannique." ) to a Twitter discussion ( but no link to it ; it is in fact at =3D> https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Ftw= itter.com%2FYiokastiM%2Fstatus%2F1209466603030667266&data=3D02%7C01%7CC= LASSICS-L%40lsv.uky.edu%7Cb84ade8e9a5447d4986e08d793848cb2%7C2b30530b69b644= 57b818481cb53d42ae%7C0%7C0%7C637140069817121829&sdata=3DzG8W5I81mlgDoBH= NjR6nA3CdNT%2FZDE7nEkYc3hXmeVU%3D&reserved=3D0 <=3D ) wherein n.b. the first reaction contains another, voice-over, video ( "Qui= ck line by line video of the Loeb to help shed some light." ) which probably will also be of interest here.
