  • 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 ...

  • Gods And Goddesses City Of Troy
    781 words
    Both Homers The Iliad, and Virgil's The Aeneid, recount the many grave occurrences, and key heros and gods and goddesses of the tumultuous Trojan War. The Trojans and Greeks are for the most part evenly matched; however, the Greeks triumph after ten years of restless war comes about because of many factors. The people of Troy suffer to a greater extent than the Greeks, because of Hectors unwise actions, Paris gluttonous decision, and the gods involvement in the war. Hectors hubris and imprudent ...

  • Wearing Achilles Armor Achilles And Patroclus Friend
    1,103 words
    In The Iliad, Homer presents the reader with a complex situation regarding who should receive blame for the death of Patroclus. Achilles appears the likely culprit because he allowed his good friend to wear the armor knowing the danger this ruse could bring on the battlefield. In contrast to the person presented to the reader as fully responsible for his demise, Patroclus carries much of the fault as well. Both Achilles and Patroclus hold equal culpability for the end of Patroclus death, mainly ...

  • Receive A Proper Burial Epic Hero
    1,766 words
    (Essay E) Iliad 24: The Rough Road to Compassion. Homer, throughout The Iliad, illustrates that although it can be difficult to reach, the rough road to compassion is noble and ultimately superior to the easier paths of anger and rage. In Book 22, Achilles demonstrates mindless rage as he desecrates the body of the Trojan warrior and son of King Priam, Hector. This violates Greek funeral rites, which say that a warrior of Hectors status, like Patrokles before him, should receive a proper burial....

  • Homer Shows Trojan War
    584 words
    Theme Analysis In Homers Iliad, war is depicted as horrible, bloody, and fruitless. There are no clear winners in The Iliad. Many people die in vain because of arrogant and emotional decisions made by men. Achilles directly causes the death of his friend by first refusing to fight, leaving the Greeks at a disadvantage, and then poorly advising his friend Patroclus to join the other fighters. Even the initial cause of the war, Paris kidnapping of Helen, a Greek woman, is a rash and selfish act. T...

  • 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...

    Analysis of Similes in the Illiad In the 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. When one is confronted with a situation that is familiar, one is more likely to put aside contemplating the topic and simply inject those known feelings. This would definitely be an...

    You better respect this essay, it took me longer to do it than you will? ! Pride in the Iliad The period in which the events in The Iliad took place were different than the times of today.
