The Iliad

In Dante's Divine Comedy, the number 3 symbolizes the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in Christianity. It represents unity and completeness, as Dante's journey through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven reflects the soul's transformation and redemption. The repetition of the number 3 emphasizes the structure and order of his poem.

Homer, as the author of The Iliad, established many of the epic conventions found in the poem, such as the invocation of the Muse, the use of epithets, and the inclusion of epic similes. His work set the standard for later epic poetry in ancient Greece.

No, Aesop did not write The Iliad and The Odyssey. These epic poems were written by the ancient Greek poet Homer. Aesop is attributed to writing fables, such as "The Tortoise and the Hare," which are short stories that teach a moral lesson.

The legacy of ancient Greek myths and epics such as The Iliad continues to provide people with valuable insights into human nature, moral dilemmas, and the complexities of life. These stories explore themes of heroism, fate, and the consequences of hubris, offering timeless lessons that resonate with audiences across cultures and generations. Additionally, they have inspired countless works of art, literature, and entertainment, shaping our understanding of storytelling and creativity.

In Beowulf's world, the element most commonly associated with power and strength is typically fire. Fire is symbolic of power, destruction, and transformation in many ancient cultures and mythologies, including the world of Beowulf.

There were many different cities built on the site of Troy. In each case, the city was built, then later destroyed or abandoned, then sometimes left unoccupied for a while, and then later re-built. The first known city of Troy was built about 3000 B.C. The one that's considered most likely to be the subject of the Iliad was destroyed by war and fire in 1260 B.C. The last Troy began its decline after the construction of Constantinople in the 4th century A.D.

No to the answer below. Greece is from the Latin Grecia which is what the Romans called Hellas[Greece] & the Hellenes[Greeks] is what Greeks call[ed] themselves, here is an explanation:

Greece is called Hellas or [H]Ellada by the Greek people. But since the ancient days they have stopped pronouncing the "H". The question "where does the word Greece come from?" has arisen. The word Greece comes from the Romans. From a Greek colony in Magna Grecia (Sicily and Southern Italy) one of the first Greek groups that the Romans came into contact with. Since these Hellenics lived in a place the Romans called Magna Grecia, they were called Grecians or Greek. The name just stuck.

because they are from Greece

They just added a suffix that sounded nice i guess.

Agamenon took his girl, Bryseis. Poor guy.

Tiresias, the blind prophet, reveals that Poseidon is punishing the Achaeans for blinding his son Polyphemus. He foretells Odysseus's fate-that he will return home, reclaim his wife and palace from the wretched suitors, and then make another trip to a distant land to appease Poseidon. He warns Odysseus not to touch the flocks of the Sun when he reaches the land of Thrinacia; otherwise, he won't return home without suffering much more hardship and losing all of his crew.

No Hercules is not in the Illiad.

Well Helen of Troy is in the Illiad which is an epic. Odysseus is in the epic The Odyssey. Hope that helps

Helene Queen of Sparta, also called Helene of Troy for her marriage to Prince Paris and Prince Deiphobus, sons of Priam King of Troy.

There wasn't really a "good" side or a "bad" side it was a war to rescue Helen of Troy since Paris stole her so technically you could say the Greeks were the good side because they were trying to get back Helen and the other kings joined in because of an agreement they signed when the Greek king married her.

The legend is that the gods were divided - some supported Troy, others supported the Achaean invaders.

There were a number of survivors of the Trojan War, among both Achaeans and Trojans. Generally, when Achaean survivors are numbered, only those who survived the Returns are listed. Disregarding the issue of longevity of life following the Returns, any list of survivors would have to include the Atridae (Agamemnon and Menelaus), Nestor and his son Thrasymedes, Neoptolemus, Diomedes, and Odysseus. Helen was reunited with Menelaus. Calchas and Amphiaraus survived, but never returned home. Among the Trojan survivors were the captive women, including Andromache and Cassandra. Antenor, who was spared by the Achaeans, was able to gather a sufficient number of survivors to comprise a burial party. Chief among Trojan survivors is Aeneas, who fled burning Troy in the company of his father Anchises and son Ascanius. According to Greek tradition, Aeneas rebuilt Troy, perpetuating the dynasty of Dardanus. Roman tradition envisioned a "New Troy."

We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.

Patroclus was killed by Zeus because Patroclus killed his son Sarpedon. Zeus had Apollo wound him badly which made it easy for Hector to finish him off.

Odysseus eventually managed to return to his wife Penelope and child Telemachus. But first, he spent another ten years going through the adventures talked about in the Odyssey.
