Iliad, A Book Review
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page book review that summarizes and analyzes aspects of this classic epic poem. The Iliad, by the ancient Greek poet Homer, is one of the greatest poetic epics in history. This poem has held readers in thrall for millennia as there is it is a grand tale of heroic adventure. As time has past, its allure has increased due to the fact that Homer's storytelling prowess opens a window for the modern reader that reveals another time, an ancient era, with its mores, customs, traditions, beliefs and lifestyle illustrated in the lives of the Greek and Trojan heroes. In accomplishing this, the Iliad reveals a pagan world whose orientation is quite different from the Western world known to the reader. Thematic content is also discussed. No additional sources cited.

Iliad/Helen & Paris
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that analyzes the relationship between Helen and Paris. In Homer's ancient epic poem The Iliad, which depicts the Trojan War, the abduction of Helen, the wife of a Greek ruler, Menelaos, by the Trojan Paris (also known as Alexandros) is the event that causes the war. The writer argues that Paris' attraction to Helen appears to be purely on a physical basis, as Paris does not appear to care whether or not he has Helen's respect. Nor does he ever indicate that he has concern for her wants, feelings, or welfare. Likewise, Helen indicates numerous times that she does not love Paris, although their story has the element of physical attraction. No additional sources cited.

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.

Jason And Oedipus
[ send me this paper ]
The classical hero was one who was brave, honest, pious and was usually either in the favor of the Gods or was descended from the Gods. There is an aspect of the supernatural to all heroes and the ancient heroes were the example for all heroes to come after. If they could not be directly ascribed as Gods, they would have God like qualities such as honor or loyalty above that of a normal mortal. In the tales of the ancient Greeks there were many who had the attributes ascribed to the role of hero. Jason, leader of the Argonauts, and Oedipus were among the more noted of the Greek heroes. This 5 page paper examines the similarities and differences between the stories of Jason and Oedipus. Bibliography lists one source.

[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page comparison of character and suicide between Queen Jocasta (Oedipus the King) and Queen Phaedra (Hippolytus). The writer argues that in both instances, the Queen was a lovelorn woman; deeply frustrated and in the end, completely desperate. Jocasta's death, however, was more sudden and rash when compared with the suicide of Phaedra who had accumulated such tendencies throughout the progression of her story. No Bibliography.
