Iliad Aristeia Chart – 7Th Period 2018 Iliad Aristeia Chart – 7th period 2018 Aristeia: a soldier’s highest moment of glory in war, when he fights so bravely and single-mindedly as to experience no fear and to appear nearly invincible Instructions: Keep track of the aristeias in the epic as we read. Be sure to take note of line numbers so that you may refer back to the text with ease. Read carefully, but be aware that some of the character’s aristeias will be incomplete. Character: Character: Character: Character: Agamemnon Hector Patroclus Achilles 1. Divine inspiration/ Strife/Eris (Goddess of Iris (messenger goddess) p. 473 – Hera via Iris exhortation: Who/what Discord) Don’t go into battle until you “To arms – son of Peleus.. inspires the hero’s aristeia? see AG is injured (11.220- Defend Patroclus!” “There Strife took her stand... 225) lashing the fighting fury in each Achaean’s heart…mad Once AG is injured, Hector for war and struggle (11.11- will have the power to kill 16) and kill… 2. Armoring: What does the Pg. 297 p. 500 hero put on, and in what - Greaves Already armed: order? Be detailed! - Breastplate “Hector leapt to ground from - Greaves - Sword his chariot fully armed and - Breastplate - Shield w/ Gorgons brandishing two sharp - Sword - Helmet spears” (11.245) - Massive shield - Two spears - Helmet - Father’s spear (*important because he’s the only one who could wield*) – magic weapon 3. Bursting into the ranks of p. 299 - “And right in the the enemy: How does the midst sprang Agamemnon hero first and killed a fighter…” Counterattack: • demonstrate (11.106ish) p. 525-526 – Asteropaeus enthusiasm for battle? “grazed Achilles’ strong right • wreak great slaughter p. 301 “but him he killed on arm and dark blood on the enemy? the ground, slashing off arms gushed…” BUT, Achilles • deal with with a sword… and always slashed out his life… counterattacks? King Agamemnon whirling to kill… Like devouring fire roaring down onto dead dry timber…” Counterattack? Iphidamas “went for the waist beneath the breastplate… but failed to pierce the glittering belt, failed flat out (11.267+)” Counter – AG “hacked his neck with a sword…” 4. Moment of weakness or Coon (brother of Iphidamas) danger: What weakness does the hero exhibit, what danger “Coon marked him… and does he face, or what injury slashed him under the elbow, does he suffer? down the forearm - a glint of metal – the point ripped through his flesh and the lord of fighting men Atrides shuddered” (11.288+) 5. Return to battle and grand duel with an important enemy: Who is the central enemy that the hero faces during his aristeia? What leads to the battle, and what happens during the battle? 6. Slaying of the important enemy with eventual boasting: How does the hero slay the enemy? How does he boast? 7. Conflict over the body of the slain enemy: What happens to the body of the slain enemy? What happens as a result of the slaying? Does this lead to future conflicts? Things to Consider about the Aristeias: • What differences emerge when you compare the four aristeias? Why causes these differences, and what might they teach us? • Thematically speaking, what does Homer reveal through each of the four aristeias? • How do the aristeias work to enhance the plot of the epic? .

Available online at http://classics.mit.edu//Homer/iliad.html The Iliad By Homer Translated by Samuel Butler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOK I Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first fell out with one another. And which of the gods was it that set them on to quarrel? It was the son of Jove and Leto; for he was angry with the king and sent a pestilence upon the host to plague the people, because the son of Atreus had dishonoured Chryses his priest. Now Chryses had come to the ships of the Achaeans to free his daughter, and had brought with him a great ransom: moreover he bore in his hand the sceptre of Apollo wreathed with a suppliant's wreath and he besought the Achaeans, but most of all the two sons of Atreus, who were their chiefs. "Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove." On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away.

  • Astrocladistics of the Jovian Trojan Swarms
    MNRAS 000,1–26 (2020) Preprint 23 March 2021 Compiled using MNRAS LATEX style file v3.0 Astrocladistics of the Jovian Trojan Swarms Timothy R. Holt,1,2¢ Jonathan Horner,1 David Nesvorný,2 Rachel King,1 Marcel Popescu,3 Brad D. Carter,1 and Christopher C. E. Tylor,1 1Centre for Astrophysics, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba, QLD, Australia 2Department of Space Studies, Southwest Research Institute, Boulder, CO. USA. 3Astronomical Institute of the Romanian Academy, Bucharest, Romania. Accepted XXX. Received YYY; in original form ZZZ ABSTRACT The Jovian Trojans are two swarms of small objects that share Jupiter’s orbit, clustered around the leading and trailing Lagrange points, L4 and L5. In this work, we investigate the Jovian Trojan population using the technique of astrocladistics, an adaptation of the ‘tree of life’ approach used in biology. We combine colour data from WISE, SDSS, Gaia DR2 and MOVIS surveys with knowledge of the physical and orbital characteristics of the Trojans, to generate a classification tree composed of clans with distinctive characteristics. We identify 48 clans, indicating groups of objects that possibly share a common origin. Amongst these are several that contain members of the known collisional families, though our work identifies subtleties in that classification that bear future investigation. Our clans are often broken into subclans, and most can be grouped into 10 superclans, reflecting the hierarchical nature of the population. Outcomes from this project include the identification of several high priority objects for additional observations and as well as providing context for the objects to be visited by the forthcoming Lucy mission.

    Virgil, Aeneid 11 (Pallas & Camilla) 1–224, 498–521, 532–96, 648–89, 725–835 G Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and commentary ILDENHARD INGO GILDENHARD AND JOHN HENDERSON A dead boy (Pallas) and the death of a girl (Camilla) loom over the opening and the closing part of the eleventh book of the Aeneid. Following the savage slaughter in Aeneid 10, the AND book opens in a mournful mood as the warring parti es revisit yesterday’s killing fi elds to att end to their dead. One casualty in parti cular commands att enti on: Aeneas’ protégé H Pallas, killed and despoiled by Turnus in the previous book. His death plunges his father ENDERSON Evander and his surrogate father Aeneas into heart-rending despair – and helps set up the foundati onal act of sacrifi cial brutality that caps the poem, when Aeneas seeks to avenge Pallas by slaying Turnus in wrathful fury. Turnus’ departure from the living is prefi gured by that of his ally Camilla, a maiden schooled in the marti al arts, who sets the mold for warrior princesses such as Xena and Wonder Woman. In the fi nal third of Aeneid 11, she wreaks havoc not just on the batt lefi eld but on gender stereotypes and the conventi ons of the epic genre, before she too succumbs to a premature death. In the porti ons of the book selected for discussion here, Virgil off ers some of his most emoti ve (and disturbing) meditati ons on the tragic nature of human existence – but also knows how to lighten the mood with a bit of drag.

ELMER Helen Epigrammatopoios Ancient commentators identify several passages in the Iliad as “epigrams.” This paper explores the consequences of taking the scholia literally and understanding these passages in terms of inscription. Two tristichs spoken by Helen in the teikhoskopia are singled out for special attention. These lines can be construed not only as epigrams in the general sense, but more speciWcally as captions appended to an image of the Achaeans encamped on the plain of Troy. Since Helen’s lines to a certain extent correspond to the function and style of catalogic poetry, reading them speciWcally as captions leads to a more nuanced understanding of both Homeric poetry and Homeric self-reference. By contrasting Helen’s “epigrams” with those of Hektor, one can also discern a gender-based diVerentiation of poetic functions. No Greek literary genre is more inextricably linked to the technology of writ- ingthantheepigram, whichderivesitsdeWning characteristics from the exigencies of inscription. It may therefore seem somewhat incongruent to Wnd discernible gestures toward this most scriptural genre in the most thoroughly “oral” texts that survive from antiquity, the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey.
