It is evident through this passage that Homer is building up this grand battle between two of the greatest warriors of this time period. Achilles, already regarded as the greatest fighter, speaks of Hektor not in a degrading manner, rather in a respectful manner, taking into account his numerous heroic feats.

Jupiter is a VERY important planet. Not only does is it the biggest planet in our solar system, but it keeps thousands of minor planets in their orbits. There is a family of minor planets (or asteroids) in the same plane as Jupiter. These are called Trojan asteroids. Scientists have divided these into two groups the “Greeks” and the “Trojans”. The “Greeks” come before Jupiter and the “Trojans” follow Jupiter. These asteroids are as far away from Jupiter as they are from the sun; because of this they stay and will continue to stay in the positions they are in because the gravitational pull from Jupiter and the sun are the same.

Homer in the Iliad tells of generation after generation fighting to bring glory and honor to not only themselves, but their families. Generations are connected by men who have fought before and men who have yet to fight. Diomedes, after being asked of his lineage, illustrates generations after generations coming and going by comparing them to leaves; one generation rises up while another blows away in the wind. He recognizes both the generations that have come before him and the ones that will come after him. The image is one of hope and optimism. He knows his place in his lineage. In the Iliad, Homer depicts Hektor as this type of warrior. However, as the epic progresses, Hektor’s death causes a break in the generation of leaves for both future and present generations. Future generations will no longer be as Hektor’s death causes a break in the string of generations connected to him. Also, Hektor’s death causes people of this generation, such as Andromache, to look presently at the isolation and despair caused by Hektor’s death. By the end of the Iliad, the generations of leaves show not a sense of continuity but rather one of discontinuity.

Hesiod’s gods lost their carelessness and gaiety of the Homeric gods, became the moral forces, severe guardians of order and justice, born of Zeus. The role of gods according to Hesiod belongs not only the Olympian gods with human form, like Zeus or Apollo, but the Earth, Sky, Star, Wind, Fight, Lies, Victory, Wisdom, violence, etc. Zeus as for Hesiod is not just carrier of the power, as Uranus and Kronus, but also the embodiment of a long-awaited order, keeper and guardian of ethics. The desire to have a better life and a constant feeling of dissatisfaction are natural for people, and the gods tend, on the contrary, to complicate people’s lives and create new difficulties. Thus, the Hesiod’s style of poetry is close to Homer’s one, but because of the general didactic orientation Hesiod’s poetry is almost out of bright Homeric metaphors, similes and epithets.

an epic poem in dactylic hexameters, traditionally attributed to Homer. Set in the Trojan War, the ten-year siege of Ilium by a coalition of Greek states, it tells of the battles and events during the weeks of a quarrel between King Agamemnon and the warrior

Hejduk’s article “Jupiter’s Aeneid: Fama and Imperium” challenges readers of the Roman epic to rethink how they interpreted the god Jupiter and his motivation, through the poem. She claims that while Jupiter is regarded by both readers and characters within the epic as an optimistic benign god, his intentions tell us otherwise. He is only interested in power and honor. Hejduk breaks her article into three sections to present this argument. The first section being the longest and most detailed, while the third being the most concise. She first analyzes Jupiter’s words directly from The Aeneid. In this section, she uses direct quotes from the god in the original Latin, and then walks the reader step by step through her analysis and translation of his speech. In the second part, she goes away from the literal translation of Jupiter’s words, and goes to the meaning of them. She looks at the motivation behind his words. In this section, she relies

Astronomers have identified plenty of objects that were circulating the sun farther away from Neptune since the year 1992. According to research, there are more than 70,000 of these small objects named as Trans-Neptunians, which had a diameter that was larger than 100 km. Also, these objects extended from Neptune’s orbit from 30 astronomical units (AU) to 50 astronomical units. There is a thick band in which these Trans-Neptunians were restricted in and this ring was named as the Kuiper Belt. One may ponder what is the significance of the Kuiper Belt? Astronomers believe that the objects within the Kuiper Belt may be the ancient remains from the early stages of development of the solar system.

The origins of the helots is debated throughout ancient sources; while it is commonly except that the helots were pre-Dorian’s conquered in the Messenian war , Antiochus of Syracus and Ephorus of Cyme had different theories.

The Iliad is a book full of poems that talk about the history of Trojans and Greeks. Within the Iliad, there is a strong urge to show a world in which was are tremendous and the gods have direct hand in human events and these deities influence fate. The two leading gods, Achillies and Aeneas, the reader can see the ways in which these two cultural problems entwine and try to create an image of the ancient world which is at once barbarously real in terms of the depiction of not just the glory, but also the horrors of war which are filled with supernatural and mystical figures called the gods.

In Homer’s renowned epic, The Iliad, no character is depicted with as much humanity and decency as Hektor, the son of Priam and prince of Troy. Although he could be considered the antagonist of the story, he is nevertheless cast in a very favorable light throughout most of it and is shown as a far more decent person than many of the epic’s Achaian heroes. In stark contrast to his opponents’ lust for glory and bloodshed, Hektor’s defining character trait is his powerful sense of duty towards his family and Troy. Although he undeniably seeks glory through battle, it this sense of duty that drives him throughout the epic and makes him one of a very small number of characters not acting completely out of self-interest.

Several unresolved problems remain concerning the Orion Nebula. The fate of the protoplanetary disks, for example, is presently impossible to predict. Without a more detailed understanding of how planets actually form, it cannot be assumed that the events within the Orion Nebula are analogous to the events that led to the formation of the planets in the solar system. Furthermore, the detection of water in the nebula has revealed the need to revise the theory of star formation to

The asteroid belt is a huge orbit of asteroids. Its located between mars and jupiter. Most of our solar systems asteroids are in the asteroid belt, but some escaped or got knocked out. Asteroids come in all different shapes and sizes, most are the size of a pebble. Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, and Hygiea are the four biggest asteroids. Ceres is actually considered a dwarf planet. Some people think that if you combine all the asteroids it would create a small, rocky, planet, but astronomers say it would make a planet smaller then earths moon. Suprizingly the asteroids are pretty far apart. If you stood on a asteroid then you would barely be able to see any other asteroids.

While the film and poem have the same overall plots, revolving around the takeover of Troy by the Greeks, the feud between Achilles and king Agamemnon, and such events that ultimately triggered the actions of the Trojan prince Paris stealing Helen of Sparta. While at the same time, revolving around the same general plotline, in that of Homer’s Iliad, many significant differences separate these two works of art from one another. This indifferent between several key aspects is most noticeable in regards to the overall progression of years
