    1,232 words
    Throughout The Iliad, the heroic characters make decisions based on a definite set of principles, which are referred to as the "code of honor. " The heroic code that Homer presents to the reader is an underlying cause for many of the events that take place, but many of the characters have different perceptions of how highly the code should be regarded.

  • Divine Causality Achelleus Gods
    384 words
    The Greek society was centered around the gods, their whims, quarrels, and inherent attributes. However, humans were not passive forces concerning their own destinies. Humans played just as much of a role in Fate as the gods did. This is evidenced in the idea of divine causality meaning that without the natural inclination of humans, gods cannot manipulate the future. An example of this can be found when Athene pulls the hair of Achelleus preventing a fight between him and Agamemnon. It is proba...

    Illiad and Prometheus Bound Greek Gods in Illiad With our view of God, it can sometimes be difficult to comprehend the actions and thinking of the Greek deities.

Needless to say, divine intervention was a major variable in the equation of Homer's Iliad. The gods picked who they would fav...
