Ajax Heroes

for all of their days. In the Greek myth of the Trojan War, Hector had to say goodbye to his family, knowing that he may never be able to see them again. His wife, Andromache, begged him to stay, as they had just had a new baby boy, Ajax. At the sight of Hector, Ajax bursted into tears in fear as he was wearing a helmet, and he didn’t recognize him right away. As soon as he took off his helmet, he clung to Hector acting as if he had never been apart from him. Hector knew what he had to do, so he

through other individuals helps to see the same major point only from a different perspective. Through the discussion on the Iliad many major points were made about the idea of the heroes in both the Iliad and Gilgamesh. One major point made was the difference in the idea of the heroes in both poems. “In the Iliad, heroes did what was necessary to maintain their honor; which usually resulted in several bad decisions.” (Lockerbie). The conclusion that came about is in the Iliad, the hero was a warrior

Violence is a means to an end. Violence is not something most humans resort to for enjoyment. Violence is, however, the right thing to be done in certain situations. With violence, comes great power. Power and violence walk together, hand in hand. When violence is exhibited, the power of the individual is shown to those around him. In both the Hebrew Bible and The Iliad, violence is depicted as a mode to reach goals. The reason for this is that violence allows an individual or a deity to flaunt their

mercilessly insults Agamemnon in the same book. His refusal to let go of his anger and his concern for his own future indicate a more adolescent or young adult viewpoint, rather than his previous childishness. The three ambassadors, Odysseus, Telamonian Ajax, and Phoenix, all appeal to Achilles to release his anger, implying that they look at him as a youth raging at worldly injustices. When Odysseus tells Achilles “Fail us now? What grief it will be to you / through all the years to come. No remedy

Anger of Achilles “ANGER – sing, goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that accursed anger, which brought the Greeks endless sufferings and sent the mighty souls of many warriors to Hades, leaving their bodies as carrion for the dogs and a feast for the birds; and Zeus’s purpose was fulfilled. It all began when Agamemnon lord of men and godlike Achilles quarrelled and parted” (Iliad 4). What is anger and how does it influence the body? Anger is a powerful emotion.

These works illustrate the struggles with human morality that plague both the Athenians and Achilles. During crises, they lose their humanity and compassion for others. Humanity is complex, and one aspect of it is the human capacity to empathize with other creatures. Not being able to empathize with others is a sign of a lack of humanity, and in the modern world is associated, when dramatic enough, with psychopathy. This can be applied to the mental states of the people in these works as well. Achilles

Beowulf and Achilles Beowulf is a story about a man named Beowulf who desired fame and fortune in life. The Iliad had a character named Achilles who is similar to Beowulf because he also desired glory. But they are two completely different stories written at different times and different places by different people. Both stories have unique qualities such as dragons in one and multi-gods in the other and that is what makes fictitious stories like these classics. Since achieving fame is a

People paint heroes in colors and words seemingly out of nowhere; however, these heroes are real in their own way. They may not have the superpowers, if they do have them, as described and shown, but there are qualities that were admired enough for them to be created. Heroes are very much real, not just something in a book. They are also human with human designs and faults. This makes them likable because not everyone is perfect and heroes acknowledge that themselves, no matter how much they are
