    1,079 words
    The subtlety in the differences between Aneas and Turnus, reflect the subtlety in the differences between the Aeneid and the Iliad. Although both characters are devout and noble, Aneas does not possess the ardent passion of Turnus.

The roles of Aneas and Turnus are reversed as the Aeneid progresses. The e...

Both Achilles and Patroclus hold equal culpability for the end of Patroclus death, mainly ...

Along with Iliad it represents an ultimate expression of ancient spirit, which it its turn, enabled Greek civilization to reach the cultural heights that we still use as standard, while assessing the cultural legacy of our own Western culture. Modern historians doubt whether the same author wrote these two epic masterpieces. The main reason for this is the fact that Odyssey, stylistically and conceptually, is m...

    The essay of Iliad, Homer finds a great tool in the simile. Just by opening the book in a random place the reader is undoubtedly faced with one, or within a few pages. Homer seems to use everyday activities, at least for the audience, his fellow Greeks, in these similes nearly exclusively. From the heroic efforts in the Iliad itself it is clear that the populace of his time were highly emotional creatures, and higher brain activity seems to be in short, and in Odysseus case, valuable, order.
