J. Griffin/Homer on Life & Death
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review that discusses Jasper Griffin's text Homer on Life and Death (1983). The writer argues that this text provides a fascinating commentary on the Iliad, Homer's epic poem that depicted the Trojan War. While Homer's work has been addressed extensively over the course of the centuries, Griffin gives it new life by pointing out the themes that Homer was trying to convey about human existence and mortality. At one point, Griffin writes that the principal theme of the Iliad is death, rather than combat, and specifically about "life and death," contrasted with the greatest possible sharpness. No additional sources cited.

Jocasta/Maternity in Oedipus Rex
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses the role of Jocasta in Oedipus Rex. The writer argues that Sophocles uses his characterization of Jocasta, Oedipus' wife/mother, to underscore the principal themes of the play. Jocasta is a powerful maternal figure in the saga, representing ancient Greek values that defined fealty to the family as one of the highest virtues. While Jocasta appears on stage in only a few scenes, her behavior underscores the depth of the sin committed not only by Oedipus, but also by his biological father Laius. No additional sources cited.
