  • Epic Poem Word Choice
    1,040 words
    The Iliad: Comparing the Works of Fagless, Lattimore and Pope Regardless of the subject matter, a writers work always reflects something of the writer himself. Although an author may attempt to remain completely objective and invisible to the reader, something of his beliefs, background, education and biases inevitably permeates into the writing. This phenomenon is even true with and especially evident in translations. While the translator would ideally remain faithful to the original author and...

  • Mother Son Relationship Attitude To His Mother Achilles
    1,171 words
    The Iliad deals primarily with human relationships. There is a preoccupation with life and death, pride, love (in its many guises) and honour and these traits are all shown through the interactions between the characters. One aspect of the relationships on offer in the work, which it is essential that we bear in mind, is the fact that the perspective is a wholly male one. Women, whether presented as peripheral to the story (as in the Iliad) or as essential to it (as in the Odyssey) are largely s...

  • Zeus As Keeper Of Order
    558 words
    Throughout The Iliad, Zeus presides as the supreme god of all gods, consistently maintaining the divine order of things and making known the absolute power he possesses so that his will may be done. This is clearly shown in the epic through the confrontation with his wife, Hera, when she accuses him of plotting secret plans. Zeus strongly reveals to her the superior power that he possesses over everyone, and that this position of power must never be questioned or disturbed. As a result, the peop...

  • Homer The Illiad Hector As Epic Hero
    1,576 words
    In Homers The Iliad there appears to be some controversy over who the true epic hero might be. We have heard many arguments supporting Achilles as the Epic Hero, and since The Iliad does indeed say The Story of Achilles I believe that Achilles is an easy character for people to associate as the epic hero. Although many people have cited Achilles as having superhuman strength and various other physical attributes, he appears to be lacking the qualities of a real Homeric Epic Hero. A Homeric Epic ...

  • How Does Homer Depict War In The Iliad
    1,099 words
    How Does Homer Depict War in The Iliad? In The Iliad, war is the honorable thing to do. It seems glorified but on the other hand Homer shows the brutality and injustice of it. From the beginning of The Iliad we are immersed in the middle of a war that began nine years ago between the Greeks and the Trojans. Many things have happened previous to the start of The Iliad for example Homer alludes to the fact that Agamemnon has had to sacrifice his daughter in order for he Greeks to reach Troy. The w...

  • Future King Main Hero
    1,087 words
    A big question that on everyones mind while reading the Iliad is: Who is the real hero of the epic? There are so many possibilities and yet each of those characters has one sort of fault or another. I believe that Hektor is the real hero of the Iliad. He is the one character that stands out, to me, and shows qualities of being noble, wise and a true friend. Unfortunately heroes have their mistakes and downfall. I am here to explain why Hektor is one of the heros but not the main hero. He cannot ...

  • Responsible For His Own Death Trojans Into A Full Retreat Patroclus
    1,085 words
    The Fate Of Patroclus Throughout The Iliad Of Homer, the constant theme of death is inherently apparent. Each main character, either by a spear or merely a scratch from an arrow, was wounded or killed during the progression of the story. For Zeus son, Sarpedon, it was a spear through the heart, and for Hector, it was the bronze of the mighty Achilles through his neck which caused his early demise. It seems that no one could escape an agonizing fate. Of these deaths, the most interesting and intr...

  • Divine Intervention Greek Gods
    1,525 words
    The religion of the ancient Greeks was polytheistic, consisting of the worship of various gods who presided over different aspects of human existence. In addition, the Greek gods are not spiritual beings but are anthropomorphic. They resemble human beings and tend to act in a human way, displaying all human vices, virtues, emotions, and beliefs. This anthropomorphism continues past the personalities of the Greek gods and on into their social structure: a patriarchal organization that closely res...

  • Code Of Conduct Ancient Greek
    387 words
    The Death of Hector is actually just one part of a larger work. The Iliad was written during the Dark Ages of Greece by a blind poet named Homer. It was mainly entertainment, but today has turned into a significant, though unrealistic History of the Dark ages of Greece. The Iliad was written and performed for a bunch of drunk, barbaric nobles who were the soldiers of the time. That? s the reason Homer put so much descriptive battle scenes and gory details. This is what they wanted; lots of blood...
