Aristotle's Perspective of Friendship in Homer's Iliad

In Homer's "Iliad" Aristotle friendship test, it is strange to mark friendship as a success or failure. Calling the friendship of Achilles and Patroclus as failure is not familiar, especially when it has long been thought of as one of great friendships since ancient times. After all, when friends stay in this state, friendship is called success, when they distract, they fail. How can I decide friendship? But the advantage of the proposal to my friends is the end of true friendship and this principle can lead to a critical quest for the essence of friendship.

3 § 14 Aristotle believes that Homer is only the author of two epic poems, Iliad and Odyssey (again poet 1459 a 37 - b 16; 1448 b 38 - 1449 a 1). Plato has obviously the same view, as we saw in the work like ion. Generally, Plato's poems cited from "Homer" come from Iriad and Odyssey, not from the cycle of epics. {The exception is no exception as the source is specified as not Homer. 3 § 15 This idea is related to what we mentioned at the beginning of this chapter. Iliad and Odyssey are the only two epic playing in Panatenia in the Plato period. As discussed in Chapter 4, the same situation was also in the 5th century BC, before the Platonic era. In its early days, Iliad and Odyssey were the only two epic of Panatenia's performances.

3 § 20 In the era of Plato and Aristotle, complementation of this epic and tragedy was only concerned with Homer Yiriad and Odyssey epics. It is no longer an epic of the cycle. As I showed in the two books "Homer's Epic", the difference between the epic cycle and the homicic epic "Iliad" and "Odyssey" is related to the obsolescence of Panathenaida's epic cycle poetry since the Peisistratidai era There is a possibility. . 3 § 21 In addition to "circulation", there are two poetic traditions that are quite different from Homer in the Platonic period, namely Hesiodod and Olfic. The difference between Hesiod, Orpheus and Homer, as I showed in twin Homer's epic, may be related to obsolescence of playing Hesiodic and Orphic poetry at Panathenaida's Panathenaida.
