  • Death Of Socrates Heroic Qualities
    1,244 words
    The concept of heroism is a central theme in Greek mythology. Achilles, the main character in Homer's The Iliad, accurately depicts the concept of a tragic hero. Throughout his many experiences during the Trojan War, he reflects heroic qualities, and earns his name as the purest, the highest and "the best of the Achaians. " Similar to Achilles, Socrates demonstrates several heroic characteristics, in Plato's work The Trial and Death of Socrates. Through his trial, apology and death, Socrates sho...

  • 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...

  • Women Play Three Years
    1,011 words
    In The Odyssey by Homer, there were many great women that had conflicting personalities and adverse motives, but also they were alike. With these oppositions they helped Odysseus to get back home to Ithaca, whether they wanted to or not. These women from the novel that have opposing qualities, yet help Odysseus get home and finish off the suitors, are Penelopeia and Clytemnestra, Circe and Calypso, and Eurycleia and Melantho. Clytemnestra is a disloyal wife and a cruel woman, while Penelopeia is...

    ... s. The sacrifice of animals was an ancient and conventional form of devotion in Greek religion. The sacrifice also brings humans and gods into a relationship that can be understood in human terms: the gods enjoy and require devotion. They like to receive gifts, and a man who is devout will give more gifts; in return, the give aid to the gift-givers. It is often said of Aeschylus that he was like a Greek Milton: he sought to explain or justify divine actions in human terms. In the trilogy, th...

  • End Of The Book Odyssey Odysseus
    1,116 words
    In the Odyssey, written by Homer, Odysseus learned a lot about himself and what he had to do to become a better overall human. The adventures he goes on, I think, opens his eyes to a world in which he thought he was invincible. With the Odyssey, Odysseus learned a big lesson in humility. The greatest example of this is in the last five books or so within the story. He has to dress, act, and live like a beggar in order to regain everything he had lost. While he was a beggar, the suitors treated h...

  • Hector And Achilles Native Land Battle
    634 words
    Hector and Achilles One of the most important episodes in Homers Iliad is the conflict between Hector and Achilles. Here, we are dealing not only with historical events, but with the reality created by Iliad. The contraposition of Hector and Achilles is not a mere conflict of two warriors. The conflict can be compared to the struggle of opposites. Hector is entirely devoted to his native land, nation and his nearest and dearest people. He is the man who was born in the fortress, protected by the...

    Aeneas and Achilleus Both Aeneas from Virgil's Aeneid, and Achilleus, the protagonist of the Homers Illiad, are supernatural heroes who represent symbols of Roman and Greek cultures respectively. Achilleus possesses phenomenal strength and has a close bond with the gods; he may strike contemporary readers as less than heroic. He has all the symbols of a great warrior (one of the necessities for heroism), but his deep-rooted character flaws continually obstruct his ability to act with honesty or ...

  • Eye For An Eye Seek Revenge
    969 words
    An eye for an eye seems to be a phrase that people will always live by. Any person that has wrong done to them seeks revenge and justice. If they dont take action than they at least have some thought of vengeance. Women, historically more than men, seem to abide by this saying. Greek tragedy is a perfect example of how women seek vengeance. Clytemnestra, Medea, and Antigone all seek revenge and justice to keep their pride and to prove themselves towards their foes and enemies. When a childs life...

  • Religion Lucretius Soul
    477 words
    Religion is one of Lucretius favorite topics to argue against in his poem On the Nature of Things. What religion does to man and the fear of the life after death that is instilled on the living is unjust per Lucretius. For while the nature of the gods must necessarily of itself enjoy immortality, the life of men lay foully groveling, crushed beneath the wait of a Religion. Throughout the texts I find Lucretius to be very harsh towards religion. Religion, brought down under our feet is bruised in...

  • Commits Suicide Greek Myths
    1,389 words
    Greek Ideas on Gender Roles Throughout history, the roles of women and men have always differed to some degree. In ancient Greece, the traditional roles were clear-cut and defined. Women stayed home to care for children and do housework while men left to work. This system of society was not too far off the hunter gatherer concept where women cared for the house and the men hunted. Intriguingly enough, despite the customary submissive role, women had a more multifaceted role and image in society ...

    The Homeric Heorism HOMERIC HEROISM The Iliad is essentially the epic of Achilles, the greatest of the Greek warriors and, at the same time, the most complex and unlikable of the many personalities of the Trojan War. Homer redefines the essence of heroism in delineating the character of Achilles, a demi-god that quarrels with his commander-in-chief over the division of spoils who sulks and pouts in his tent when he does not get his way. In the end, of course, Achilles triumphs over his arch-riva...
