Jstor Help Me? - Tumblr Posts

Reading the Illiad for the first time, and I don't have any organize thoughts on this, but there's something about perceptions of time and youth. Like, all the references to how heroes of the past were stronger/the past was a better time to live in, and then all the older heroes lamenting the passage of time and loss of strength because of it, and THEN how epics like the Illiad are revered because of how they've survived the passage of time and (in some circles) the past was a better time because "men were real men" and point to ancient Greece/Rome as an example.

This is something I would have highlighted as a potential paper topic and researched on jstor for if I was still in college. Like I said, no solid thoughts, just like a vibe. A hunch.

(If someone knows a paper like this, please let me know so I can read it)
