The Iliad

Odysseus is determined, and he is unlucky to have so many tragedies occur along the way.

Achilles lived in Athens, Greece.

There are many themes in The Iliad. Some include: Heroism (and the heroic code), Fate (Determinism/Free Will), The Role of War, Women's Roles, The Gods/Mortals, Love/Respect/Friendship/Family & Death.

There are many commentaries on what the Iliad is trying to mainly portray.

For Achilles, it is mainly his realisation of universal suffering in Book 24, and his analysing of the society that he lives in.

The second line of the Iliad describes Achilles' rage as [oulomene]: 'destructive'.

The first word of the Iliad is [menin] :: 'rage'.

In a sense, the whole poem is about rage.

He lets Priam give his son Hector a proper Trojan funeral and some peace.

The heroes often possess hubris, or excessive pride, which blinds them to their vulnerabilities and leads them to underestimate their challenges. Additionally, their moral flaws, such as impulsiveness or a deep-seated desire for revenge, drive them to make reckless decisions that exacerbate their situations. These character weaknesses not only contribute to their tragic downfalls but also serve as cautionary elements that highlight the consequences of human imperfection. Ultimately, their flaws render them relatable, as they mirror the complexities of real-life struggles.

Homer's epic tale about the Iliad is all about how Paris ( Troy Prince ) abducted Helen, who was actually Menelaus's wife ( King of Sparta .) It is mainly about how The Greeks start a war because they want Helen back, but Paris will not give her back. In the end the Greeks create a wooden horse and hide all their warriors in it. The Trojans think that it is a gift from them and they want to end the war, and they start dancing and singing and celebrating. At night the Greek warriors jump out and burn down Troy.

Achilles flaws are that he is driven by anger and revenge. A true hero's characteristics are goodness and honor. Achilles did not possess either and he desecrated Hector's body which is considered deplorable.

No, he died before the Greeks took over Troy.

In Book IV of the Odyssey it's clear that they both feel positively about Odysseus, Helen relates a story which shows his mastery of disguise and Menelaus says Odysseus was a close friend of his and he desperately wants to see him again (as Odysseus has been missing for 10 years), the story of the Trojan horse is also told, showing Odysseus' cunning and intellect. Both of them hgave nothing but praise for him.

True. Homer has been given credit for The Odyssey and also, The Iliad. Although no one knows for certain that he was a real person, he is believed to have been a blind minstrel who wandered from city to city, making a living by telling stories.

She promises to ask Zeus to side with the Trojans in the battle.

The brothers of Hector in Greek myth (and one must assume the movie Helen of Troy as well) are Troilus, Paris, Aesacus, Deiphobus, Helenus, and the youngest Polydorus- but Priam is said to have had been the father of fifty sons and many daughters. See link.

Homer

The illiad covers the 9th year of the Troyan war which some people think ocurred circa 1250 B.C. It is believed to have been written around the year 750 B.C. by Homer, a storyteller.

Agamemnon had two daughter's, one of whom was named Electra. Iphigenia commonly regarded as Agamemnon's daughter was actually the daughter of Theseus and Helen.

The Helm was stolen by Luke Castellan at the same time as Zeus' Master bolt, during the winter solstice. When Ares caught Luke, he took the Helm from him. Hades thought that Percy Jackson had stolen the helm for Poseidon, and sent the Furies after him (he admitted to this when Percy and his friends confronted him in the Underworld). He also took Percy's mother hostage to bargain for the helm. Once Percy and his friends had escaped from the Underworld, they encountered Ares again. Percy challenged Ares to a duel which he eventually won, whereupon he regained the helm. The Furies had been watching and Percy gave them the helm to deliver to Hades. In return, Hades returned Sally Jackson, Percy's mother, to the world of the living.

Marco Menelau's birth name is Marco Antonio Menelau.
