Hector

For my final project, I will compare two pieces of art and show the comparisons and differences that they have in the Greek ancient period and the modern period of the same theme “the representation of the Trojan war”. The visual work art is a bilingual art because it was made with the participation of two artists, Andokides (Red figure) and the Lysippides (Black figure) and it is titled “Achilles and Ajax Playing a Dice a Game”. It was painted in 525–520 B.C in Greece and it represents the…

god of the sun, Apollo, sees the chaos occurring on the battlefield and intervenes by hitting the armour that comes of, and has Hektor oblivious to the identity of the man he was battling killed Patroklo. elaborates deeply the demigod’s hatred for Hector after the slaughter of his loyal friend. Homer elaborates the pain Achilles feels after hearing word of Patroclus…

was Achilles himself. As the battle ensued, Patroclus met Hector, and the fighting stopped so all could witness the historic dual, the best of Troy against the best of Greece. As the soldiers fought bravely, a deadly blow was delivered, and the young cousin of Achilles fell at the blade of Prince Hector. When the Greeks returned to camp Achilles received the news of his cousin and became infuriated. He planned to seek revenge on Hector for murdering the youth, his plans of achieving…

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…

in the dialogue Hector and Achilles have in The Iliad before their duel. Hector, aware that his chances of victory against Achilles are grim, pleads to Achilles, “Once I’ve stripped your glorious armor, Achilles, I will give your body back to your loyal comrades. Swear you’ll do the same” (Homer 550). Not only is burial a method of honoring the body, but also through Homer’s works, it is apparent that the dead cannot enter the afterlife without proper burial. During battle, Hector mistakenly…

This event sparks the heroism and passion that Achilles had for Patroclus who is now determined to kill Hector and win the war for the Greeks. As Achilles comes upon Troy to the shock of the Trojan army, the fighting will become very fierce. Achilles murders many men as he disposes them in the river Scamander as the Greeks start to march on the city of Troy where Achilles will duel Hector. The arête that Achilles possesses at this point of the story is extraordinary. He himself fasts while the…

I Prior to the beginning of the scene, Ajax has planted the sword given to him by Hector away from both Greek encampment and the city of Troy(818-822). Ajax calls out last words to the gods in order to avenge his death and make his death swift (824-855). Ajax cries only towards the gods, showcases desolation implying the stage has been cleared of any other actors and chorus. I.n order to make the Ajax’s suicide realistic, ekkylemas(an ancient Greek practice) may have been used)Cynthia Gardiner…

ruse. “The Trojans manage to repel the Greeks back to the shore; Patroclus, Achilles’ friend, wearing Achilles’ armor, successfully leads the Myrmidons against the enemy, but is subsequently killed by Hector, the Trojan prince. Enraged by his friend’s death, Achilles joins the battle and tracks down Hector, whom he kills in a face to face duel.” Heart struck by his friend’s death he attacked out of revenge and killed his friend’s killer. He ultimately was killed by the arrow to his heel and was…

enough to ignore words and put his faith in actions. Save the air in your lungs for a war cry, do not waste it on insults. (104 words). Homer uses many nature metaphors to describe the fury of war, especially using metaphors for great fighters like Hector, or the wrath of Zeus, or the massive attacks done by either size. I think he uses nature metaphors because nature surrounded people and to the common person limited to the mundane life of farming, nature was one of the biggest controlling…

Only the most cruel and unusual mind could so callously dishonor the body of a man the likes of Hector, and particularly after Hector had explicitly entreated Achilles to treat his body with respect in the case that he dies. What accounts for Achilles’ perversity? No doubt the culprit remains the very anger which assisted Achilles in defeating Hector. Anger has caused Achilles to become depraved to the point where he cannot discern a difference in how one ought to treat…
