literature‚ we see that their heroes really aren’t that different after all. In the Iliad‚ Homer targets the audience of Greek upper class men in order to spread some cultural propaganda to the nation. Homer captures audiences by using the hero of Achilles to show men what they should aim to be‚ and to show women what they should be looking for in a man. After the Dark Ages‚ Homer aims to bring some positive light to the Greeks with his “Epic Heroes”‚ which leads to inspire more than just the Greek

described in the literal part. This quote is about Achilles while he is experiencing Aristeia. It is yet another example pf epic simile. This time I drew the figurative representation. The drawing itself is a simple picture of fire in a gorge. I used Homers brilliant description‚ but in the form of a drawing instead of elaborate writing. This quote is about Achilles charging the Trojan army. It is also a Homeric simile comparing Achilles to a eagle. I attempted

Heraclitus‚ like many of the beginning philosophers was a monist. His interpretation of the one reality was fire; however‚ this is not to be taken literally. Heraclitus believed that the “one” could not be any material thing‚ but could be found in the orderliness of change and he explained fire as “always changing yet somehow is always the same.” By having orderliness‚ there is possibility for the human mind to understand the cosmos instead of it being chaotic and based on the gods’ wills.

Fragile yet emotional‚ the topic of friendship intertwines these epics into the impassioned worlds they create‚ allowing the reader too thoroughly dissolve the rather enigmatic emotions flared out by both Gilgamesh and Achilles.

Was "Troy" the Movie Accurate According to Homer? Did the movie Troy‚ released in 2004‚ accurately depict the story of Homer’s epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey‚ and was it a good movie from a critical point of view?
