Isaac Lati Professor David Sage Classical culture essay Is that Alexander or Achilles…wait I’m confused? Alexander was not some ordinary guy at his time. People considered him to be a legend of his time and on. His power was outstanding. Alexander had enough power to almost conquer most of the world at his time. People began to debate whether he was a god sent from heaven or a demon brought from down below ready to achieve and conquer the world. His actions and bravery was considered to be…

An epic, according to Aristotle is a poetic story displaying both tragedy and success with a topic that is "lofty and grand". Out of Achilles and Hector, the two great heroes of the Trojan War, Hector ranks superior, establishing more characteristics of an epic hero including kairos, the instinct of knowing when and what to do in the face of fear. Hector is first acknowledged as a noble and responsible leader when he stays by his brother's side through poor judgement of stealing Helen, the…

What is the true definition of being a hero? Some might say Batman or Superman but in this case it would have to be Beowulf and Achilles. While reading about Beowulf in Beowulf and Achilles in the Iliad people can now gain a little more knowledge about what true epic hero’s are and what they did to get the titles of epic hero’s. Although Beowulf and Achilles are fears and heroic warriors, they both come from two very distinct cultures where what they fight portrays their heroic deeds. Beowulf…

The Epic Hero Achilles Son of Peleus and Thetis was the future talented hero named Achilles. Hector was the son of King Priam and Queen Hecuba. These two heroes Achilles of Greece and Hector of Troy became great warriors and were admired by almost everyone in their region.

need Achilles. Achilles still upset and angry refuses to fight but allows his best friend Patroclus to wear his armour to make the Trojans think Achilles has joined the war again. The plan was actually working pretty well until Apollo decided to help Hector (the Trojan Prince) track down and kill “Achilles”. They did end up finding “Achilles” and did kill him, but they then figure out it was actually Patroclus…

In my opinion, neither The Achaeans nor the Trojans won the Trojan War. Most literature insinuates that the Achaeans won. However; he Greeks (Achaeans) and the Trojans both had extreme loses. On the Trojan side they lost Hector and on the Achaean side they lost Achilles. Both sides were put into agony during and after the war. Many brother, sons, husbands, children, and fathers were lost during the Trojan War. In the film, Paris handed off the Sword of Troy to Aeneas, who seemed to be just an…

A long time ago at the beginning of time, there was a sun god named Apollo and the ruler of the pantheon of gods, Zeus. Zeus controlled the sky. Apollo was the second in command and challenged Zeus, the leader, to a battle. The stakes of the battle were high. The winner would be the ruler of all the gods and the loser would die. Apollo went up to Zeus and said, “I challenge you to a battle to the death, where the winner shall become the ruler of the gods and the loser will die.” Zeus replied…

In the poem “If We Must Die”, Claude McKay expresses how he and the people fighting along with him must fight no matter what so they can die with respect. Basically they are fighting a losing battle, but they are going to die prideful because they will not quit. The tone throughout the paper is belligerent, yet encouraging because of the aggressive nature expressed by hostile figurative language yet it is still to encourage the group. The speaker is most likely the leader of the fighting group.…

time for Hector and Achilles to fight the goddess Athena made herself look like Hector's brother just to help Achilles win the fight. There was almost always a God around during the Greek times. Greek and modern day heroes are the same because they both have weaknesses and enemies.All heroes have something or someone who against them, a challenger to the ‘good of humankind’ who must be stopped or brought down. For example, in the Iliad, Achilles enemy at the end of the story was mainly Hector…

Achilles battles constantly with his king Agamemnon. This causes many of the problems that face the Greeks as they battle against the city of Troy and the Trojan soldiers. Agamemnon offends Achilles severely when he requires Achilles to give him his woman Briseis, whom Achilles loved. Achilles withdraws from the battle knowing that the Greek armies cannot win without his participation. Achilles has several flaws, though he has lived by the heroic code all of his life. He is too proud, which…
