The Iliad

While Agamemnon was away at war, his wife, Clytemnestra took a lover named Aegisthus, son of Thyestes. All accounts of his death are either at his hands or hers.

Yes, there was even a war there.

Poseidon disliked Odysseus because he thought that the might of man had accomplished the victory, placng man over the gods, when in fact, without poseidon and other gods, the war would have been impossible to win, and all of Odysseus's clever plans would have failed.

'Man is nothing without the gods'






Poseidon disliked Odysseus because Odysseus tricked and blinded his son and then dared Poseidon to do anything about it.

No. As Homer (possibly not even one person) was the author* of The Iliad and Achilles is a character in the poem (or if he was a real person, his character would have probably been sourced from many different people and exaggerated.. The Iliad was written down by Homer in the 8th Century BCE (although Homer's birth date is disputed) and the fall of Troy is told to have been around the dates of 1330s-1130s BCE.

*Homer is credited as being the author of the Iliad, when in fact he only wrote it down. He did not make up the story, it had been around for years before Homer.

The easiest answer would be that Hercules was the strongest individual, Achilles was the most skilled fighter, and that Alexander the Great was the greatest general.

Unfortunately, this answer is far from complete. The question is essentially impossible to answer. In order to answer the question in any meaningful way the sources must be considered, and the sources for these three individuals is woefully inadequate.

Hercules is a purely mythological figure, and (unless one accepts Euhemerus' theory that mythological figures are based on vaguely remembered kings and heroes of the past) has no historical basis. To try to compare a mythological figure to a Alexander the Great, a historical figure, is nonsense.

Achilles is more complicated than Hercules; he may be a mix of myth and legend. Although most of what we know about him is undoubtedly fiction, such as the suggestion that he is the son of Thetis, a nymph. On the other hand, recent archaeological finds in Asia minor have strongly suggested that the siege of Troy actually did occur in the far past (perhaps the 11th century B.C.).

Even Alexander is problematic. Despite being a historical figure, we have no surviving firsthand accounts from his life. Even during his own life he was heavily mythologized, and as a result it is very difficult to separate fact from fiction in the surviving accounts we have of his life.

To sum it up, it has to be Hercules, the son of Zeus. He killed like eight unkillable monsters, and he once held the weight of the entire sky on his solders, and he eventually became a legitimate god. Achilles is skilled and all, but he was killed by an arrow. And while Alexander might be arguably the greatest tactician to have ever lived, and one of the most courageous to boot, he was still just a man.

In the Iliad, Athena disguises herself as the warrior Mentor, who is a trusted friend of Odysseus. She takes on this form to guide and encourage Telemachus, Odysseus's son, providing him with wisdom and support during his journey. Athena's ability to change her appearance allows her to influence events throughout the epic while remaining unseen.

The "Iliad" can be interpreted as both pro-war and anti-war. On one hand, it glorifies the heroism, honor, and valor of warriors like Achilles, showcasing the glory of battle and the significance of personal honor. On the other hand, it also presents the brutal realities of war, including loss, suffering, and the futility of violence, suggesting a critical view of its consequences. Ultimately, the poem reflects the complexity of human nature and the duality of war's impact on society.

Menelaus of Sparta was the Spartan King that was the true husband of Helen. Paris, a Trojan Prince, stole Helen from Menelaus and brought her back to Troy.

Before this happened, you need to know some things. Helen was the most beautiful woman in the world. She had many suitors, and finally her father asked for help from Oddyeseus, King of Ithaca. Oddyseues said that Helen's father should ask all the suitors to take an oath that they will abide by Helen's father's choice and that if Helen is stolen from the man chosen, everyone must go out and hunt down that man.

When Helen was stolen by Paris, everyone that was a suitor of Helen needed to take all his men and fight for Helen. This is was started the Trojan War.

Hector's dying request is for Achilles to return his body to the Trojans for a proper burial, as he wishes to avoid being eaten by dogs and to honor his family's grief. Achilles, consumed by rage and grief over the death of his friend Patroclus, initially refuses Hector's plea and instead vows to desecrate his body. However, Hector's request highlights the themes of honor and respect in warfare, contrasting with Achilles’ desire for revenge. Ultimately, Achilles' refusal underscores the tragic consequences of pride and anger in the epic.

In "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", the characters parallel those in Homer's "The Odyssey" through their roles and journeys. Ulysses Everett McGill represents Odysseus, while his companions Delmar and Pete reflect the roles of characters like Telemachus and various crew members. In this adaptation, Penny, Everett's wife, embodies the essence of Penelope, while the character of the lawman, Sheriff Cooley, can be likened to the antagonistic forces Odysseus faces. Although there is no direct representation of Helen of Troy and Menelaus, Penny’s allure and the conflict over her can symbolize Helen's beauty and Menelaus’s pursuit in a modern context.

There is not really any symbol for the god Odyssues but many people say a stick with a vine wrapped around it.

The cyclops had rolled a large rock to block the entrance of the cave. If Odysseus and his men killed Polyphemus, they would be trapped in the cave, unable to move the rock.
