The Iliad, Homer

the iliad, homer

There are correct answers

1. Kill Peris as a baby

2.Peris had to kill his beloved bull as his father told him too

3.If he had listened to his wife Oenone

4.If he lives (which is a shame) give the apple to Hera

the whole trojan war could have been avoided if paris just. ate the apple in one comically large bite. athena, hera, and aphrodite would have been stunned into silence.

The way so many "feminist" retellings actually give their women less agency makes me want to bite someone

Apollo Why does he look like that

LOOK AT HIM So silly....

gods' blessing

People are reading the Iliad, and conclude that the meaning is anger, ok that's what Homer said too, let's think more.

They didn't understand the destruction of human life, how important it is to be remembered, and whether it all make sense. War is evil, and if you want to win, you have to be evil, and only the gods are responsible, and they are the only ones who can stop it.

THE MEANING IS HUMANITY IN WAR AND IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE REMEMBERED IDIOTS.

Read books 6,9, and 24 again and really read the books nicely and carefully.

Pay attention to every man who has a family and will leave it for what for the gods who are ready to use them as playthings.

AND ALSO, this is an old ancient culture that was very important the sentence "tooth for tooth eye for eye son for son."

Greek Mythology is nasty nasty please don't forget that.

Oh yeah and this too

Kleos (Ancient Greek: κλέος) is the Greek word often translated to "renown", or "glory". It is related to the English word "loud" and carries the implied meaning of "what others hear about you". A Greek hero earns kleos through accomplishing great deeds.

According to Gregory Nagy, besides the meaning of "glory", kleos can also be used as the medium (in this case, the ancient Greek poetry or song) which conveys glory.

Ok, thanks, that's my thought for the day <3
