Iliad Book 1 What questions do you have on Book 1?

JENNY RYAN JAN 04, 2018 10:21AM

What is fate in the book? Is nestor signicant?

- I.5 "the will of Zeus", Achilles fated to die, perhaps alluding to Yes, he is a respected advisor of the Achaean army. See page the end of the war 86

Why did Agamemnon spurn Apollo’s preist. What does Zeus do? 1. Agamemnon takes Chryses, daughter Chryseis (geras = time/honor) 2. Everyone EXCEPT Agamemnon wants Ag. to return the girl Why don’t they respect women 3. Chryses prays to Apollo 4. Apollo brings down his wrath Are Achilles and Agamemnon ghting for

Why does Agamemnon demand Briseis as his wife for the achaeans or greece exchange for returning chryseis. - The Achaeans and the Greeks are the same.

- Agamemnon turns on Achilles because Achilles, at the suggestion of Calchas, urges Ag. to give over Chryseis. what happened in book 1

- Reection of Agamemnon's anger and pride.

Why would Chryses name his daughter “Chryseis” that’s extremely confusing

Why is Zeus reluctant to punish the achaeans Who are the achaians - The Achaeans and the Greeks are the same.

Who is Nestor? - Adviser of the Achaean army. Nestor is old, Greek idea that Age = Wisdom Question Who is Atrides? Page 86 - Ag. shouldn't take Briseis - Ach. shouldn't ght with Ag. Why does Hera like the Achaeans more than the Trojan -Because Paris didn't choose her for the golden apple

Hera

Why is Hera fearful of Zeus/ why doesnt Zeus want Hera to know of his intervention with the ght

1.148 ""That would be a disgrace. You are all witness look- my -Achilles can't kill Agamemnon, so he refuses to ght and to prize is snatched away" - Ag. talking about his gera and time, send his Myrmidon soldiers into battle. so the same principal will apply to Achilles.

1.185 "we followed you, to please you, to ght for you . . . you threaten to strip me of my prize in person."
