On Friday, September 27, we continue our exploration of heroism in Homer's Iliad. Please do the following:
(1) Read Iliad books 6, 9, 14, and 16.
(2) Bear in mind these questions as you read:
- How might you compare and contrast Trojan society with that of Greek society, based on your reading of book 6?
- In book 9, why does the argument between Achilles and Agamemnon continue?
- What does book 14 add to your appreciation of the Greek cosmos as we have defined it?
- How do the events of Book 16 have lasting consequences for the poem?
