on expanding their colonies. How France would take over the arts of Spain during the Napoleon times. Wars would also bring dispersion of the arts. Because there is so much chaos involved in wars, people just steal what they can. Sometimes people would hide what they stole hoping to come back to it, but they in fact would also get killed and that art that was hidden would never be found. Because some of these major art works have been lost during the time some of the artists aren’t recognized. There are also artists that we don’t even know about, because all of their works has either been lost or destroyed by the invasive countries. I chose a book “The Lost Museum: The Nazi Conspiracy to Steal the World 's Greatest Works of Art” by Hector Feliciano. I chose this book because this book is about the World War II, possibly the time when the largest looting of art was going on. This book provides a lot of information on how and where the Nazis would steal the art. The book explains how Hitler was a large follower of different kind of arts. Hitler knew that a lot of these arts can bring wealth into his nation. Some of the arts that are shown in this book weren’t even seen by the public. This book also shows how because of looting a lot of the art pieces where lost during the war. The author of the book mostly focuses on the private collections of five families: Rothschild, Rosenberg, Bernheim-Jeune, David-Weill, and Schloss. In the book it even says that “The paintings belonging…

Apollo warns Patroclus not to make an attempt to invade Troy; however, Patroclus ignores his warning and tries anyway. As a result, Apollo confronts him and injures Patroclus enough to where he enables Hector to kill him. This was all due to the fact that it was not Patroclus’s fate to bring down Troy. Another example occurs when Zeus jokes with Athena that he will spare Hector from Achilles, and she rebukes him, saying it had long been Hectors fate to die at the hand of Achilles. This…

greatest warrior ever to live. However, Agamemnon was rather weary of asking Achilles to join him in battle. Achilles ended up joining the Greeks in the Trojan War. Agamemnon and his fellow kings set sail, commanding a fleet of 1,000 ships and more than 50,000 soldiers. The city of Troy and king Priam, when told about impending fleet of Greeks, was doubtful at the least. King Priam had thought that his giant stone walls would be sufficient enough to protect his kingdom and its peoples. Priam was…

which makes readers question his nobility and creates a distance between him and the reader. In Book IX Achilles says, “I cannot imagine Agamemnon, or any other Greek, persuading me [to return to battle], not after the thanks I got for fighting this war”. He is isolated from other characters in the sense that he has no motive to fight, instead he simply fights because he wants to, because he is good at it, and for the recognition he will receive when he is done. Since Achilles fights just to…

character that truly embodies heroism is the Trojan prince, Hector. Hectors heroism is supported by the acclaimed writer and book critic, Bernard Knox, who defines heroism as willingness to give up one’s glory, dedication to an ill-fated populous, unflinching bravery and familial compassion (Knox). Hector lives up to the criteria of a hero through his effortless courage, his commitment to his…

When he confronts Achilles, he tells him to think of his own father and to have ‘compassion’ for him. He convinces Achilles to return the body of his son by telling him of his situation, which causes Achilles to become overwhelmed. Achilles puts himself aside and opens up to Priam, he has accepted someone else’s grief, which allows him to give Hectors body to his father. Here we see that Achilles character is able to change. For the first time in the Iliad, we see that Achilles forgets about his…

their victories are counted due to him. In this situation Achilles acts like a mercenary, picking and choosing his battle unlike a soldier who follows orders regardless of the commander. Solders are known to stay loyal to their cause, but due to Achilles pride he feels he doesn’t have remain loyal to Greek Army, and has the right to refuse any orders from his commander. This is much different from Hector. He stays loyal to the Trojan cause. Even though he Is the prince of troy and considered the…

This scene depicts hector preparing for battle with Achilles. While he is taking off his armor he is then killed while he is unarmed. The imagery of ‘goodly armor’, or armor with lavish décor, is symbolic of wealth and power hiding the corruption of the state that he was fighting for. All along hector had the lust for power and valor, not justice. He was fighting in a war on behalf of his brothers for reasons he initially opposed to, but then was seduced into as soon as they questioned his…
