On my mission to find a painting that either caught my eye or would stop me dead in my tracks‚ I discovered “The Anger of Achilles.” This oil painting seemed to call me hither to take a closer look. As I walked closer‚ the painting became more clear and vivid. It was as if Jacques-Louis David was oil painting in high definition. This is a stunningly clear oil painting. So clear‚ it resembles a modern day photograph. The expression on the faces of each character in this painting drew me in even

The Iliad verses Troy I n the movie it’s stated that Agamemnon brought the kings together for this war‚ which really isn’t true. Helen had many powerful suitors and her father was too afraid to pick one of them for her husband in fear of offending the others. Odysseus convinced him to make a contract with the other suitors that made them promise that should anything happen to Helen‚ the other kings would assist in getting her back. When Paris kidnapped Helen from Menelaus‚ they were bound to

WOMEN IN THE ILIAD AND THE ODYSSEY The Iliad and the Odyssey depict the events surrounding the Trojan War. The events in the Iliad take place towards the end of the Trojan War. The Odyssey‚ on the other hand‚ takes place 10 years after the Trojan War when Odysseus returns home. Both epic poems share similarities in that they have a pervasive male presence: the hero is male and the majority of the characters are also male. However‚ in the midst of this apparent male dominance in both of these stories

Homers epic poem The Iliad it is Achilles who tends to get the glory‚ and fame as the Hero in the story. I disagree. I do not argue that that Achilles did not have many heroic qualities‚ because he did. However I do not believe he had more heroic qualities or was greater than Priams’ son‚ Hector.

Topic Exploration In the great works of literature The Iliad and The Epic of Gilgamesh there is one theme that stood out to me the most. This is the theme of heroism. In each of these stories a hero is shown in many different characters‚ but they all have some similarities. It also depends on the reader who is interpreting the story. For instance for me in The Epic of Gilgamesh both Enkidu and Gilgamesh could be considered heroes. Many times in ancient Greek stories the typical definition of a hero
