Homer & Dante/The Nature of their Quest
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page essay that compares Dante's Inferno with Homer's Odyssey. The writer argues that analogous comparisons can be made between Dante's work and his illustrious predecessors. An examination the "Inferno" and Homer's "Odyssey" demonstrates how in both works the "journeys" that these works describe concern how the protagonist works out a relationship between himself and the divine, and, in so doing, is able to "come home" by arriving at his destination, paradise for Dante the Pilgrim and his home in Ithaca for Odysseus. No additional works cited.

Homer's "The Illiad": Compare/Contrast Achilles And Hector
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The premise of Homer’s "The Iliad" is that of a petty quarrel Achilles allows to get out of hand, nearly destroying all opportunity for the Greeks to defeat the Trojans, as well as arrive back home safely after the battle. This childish action puts to question whether Achilles was truly a hero who properly exercised his power, for he risked not only his own life by permitting himself to get out of control, but also the lives of each and every person who fought in battle. Hector, like Achilles, was determined and forthright in battle. Attitudes of both men depict that of destruction, both mentally and physically, but it was Hector who was deemed the true hero of the Trojan War. Unlike Achilles, Hector chose his battles more carefully, rather than going headlong into whatever killing spree was most opportune at the moment. A hero does not take chances with other people’s lives; rather, his goal is to save as many as he can. If his own life is destroyed in the process, then that establishes him as even more of a hero. The writer compares and contrasts Achilles with Hector. No additional sources cited.

Homer's Odyssey/Relationship with Gods
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses the information can be inferred from Homer's Odyssey concerning the relationship of humanity with the gods. The writer argues that religion gave ancient peoples not only an explanation of natural phenomenon that would otherwise be inexplicable, but also a feeling of control towards fate. Examination of this epic poem shows that to the ancient Greeks religion was not a remote or abstract subject, but rather a force that interacted with their lives directly. In the Odyssey, characters are influenced, guided, and warned through direct communication with their gods. No additional sources cited.

Homer's True Identity
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. As popular as Homer's classics are in the context of history, so too is the mystery that surrounds the author's true identity. The extent to which the authenticity of Homer's existence has spawned myriad theories throughout the ages is both grand and far-reaching; that no single conjecture is the least bit verifiable speaks to the notion that Homer very likely did not exist within his own right but rather as an image concocted by at least one other person - but more than likely by several others. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Homer/Iliad & Greek Culture
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that examines what Homer's Iliad tells the modern reader about ancient Greek culture. In many ways, ancient sagas are like windows on another time as they reflect the mores, customs, traditions, beliefs and lifestyles that were prevalent in societies that existed in past millennia. An examination of Homer's Iliad in this regard teaches the modern reader a great deal, not only about ancient Greek practices, but also about the way in which they viewed life, that is, the values that they considered paramount to a person of exemplary character. No additional sources cited.

Homer/The Iliad and History
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page analytical essay that examines Homer's Iliad in terms of how the details of the poem reflect the culture and beliefs of Homer's era. The writer argues that the works of Homer, regardless of whether or not Homer actually existed or if his account of the Trojan War is historical accurate, definitely reflect the cultural concepts, beliefs, and worldview of the time in which these epic poems were composed. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
