あらすじ・解説
Rage, honor, and fate continue to drive The Iliad to its ultimate, tragic end. As we read, we’ll explore the following questions:
- What is it about beauty that would have made the Greeks go to war over a beautiful woman?
- How does The Iliad highlight the values of the Greek gods that the heros then personify?
- How does Homer attempt to resolve the conflict between loyalty to the family and loyalty to the city?
