An example of modern day hero is Miles Parsons. Miles Parsons has always been passionate about protecting the U.S. from terrorists. To this day, he has lived up to his dream by fighting against U.S. enemies behind a computer screen (Cannon).

    In “The Fall of Rome — an author discussion,” authors Bryan Ward-Perkins and Peter Heather present and confer their stances related to the fall of Rome. Though the two historians disagreed on a few concepts, they both definitely agreed that the fall of Rome was caused by a violent struggle through several “series of unfortunate events.” Contrary to other historians, like Walter Goffart, Ward-Perkins and Heather agreed that each time the Romans ceded land to foreign adversaries, their internal state of affairs were disrupted. For 70 years, Heather states, the Romans “struggled to survive” amid their “loss of vital, agricultural, tax base,” and their difficulty to maintain their military manpower. For example, Alexander Severus, who was Emperor from 222-235, was murdered by his own troops when he refused to increase their pay.…

    Rage In The Iliad Analysis

    In Homer’s The Iliad, rage is a driving force for the mortal characters, unlike the stoic, unemotional nature of the gods. Each human character seems to have his own vendetta, and will go to great lengths to get the justice he feels he deserves. The enraged state these characters reside in only heightens the conflicts they experience in the war, pushing the story along further. Achilles and Agamemnon are prime examples of this, pushing forth their agendas due to their rage-filled emotional states, and this directly juxtaposes the unemotional nature of Zeus, the highest of all Greek gods.…

Achilles being the true definition of a man of valor slashed his way through hundreds of Trojan soldiers and not a single one of them could land a scratch on this ancient death machine.

    The fall of the seemingly all-powerful Roman Empire has been blamed on a tremendously long list of mistakes and events that are still heavily debated in today’s society; some examples of the these events include the invasions of various barbaric tribes into Rome, the economic decline and overspending of Roman society, the splitting of the empire into the East and the West, and even the rise of Christianity. While all of these causes likely contributed to the overall downfall of Rome, one in particular stands out—the copious invasions of growing barbarian tribes into Roman territory. The Visigoths, Vandals, and Huns are only a few examples of the plentiful number of barbaric factions that had a hand in Rome’s devastating collapse (Andrews).…
