The Iliad by Homer

Years ago, in ancient Greece, Plato started discussing the usefulness of literature by arguing that poetry does not exist in ideal society. However, his student Aristotle took the contrary to this controversy and believed that literature was actually useful. Aristotle said that literature agreed with Plato's view of causing bad emotions, but the only way to do this was to eliminate our harmful emotions.

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.

Like "Iliad", "Odyssey" is attributed to the Greek epic poet Homer, which may possibly be later than "Iriad" in the era of Homer 's maturity, "around 725 B.C.". Like Iliad, it obviously consists of verbal traditions, and perhaps with simple stringed instruments and occasionally rhythmical tones, there may be more to sing a song than to read. It is written in Homer Greek (an ancient Greek version of Greek, mixed with other dialects such as Aeolic Greek), including a poem of 12,110 lines of ductic hexamers, usually divided into 24 books It is.

Homer's Iliad explained the last year of Trojan War, a legendary confrontation between the Greek City Alliance and the city of Troy in Anatolia. It may have been written through the long oral tradition someday in the 8th century BC, but the Greeks themselves imagined war in the Bronze Age of the 13th century BC. I believe that the Greeks believed that Homer came from Chios or Ionia, and believe he was attributed to Iriad and Odyssey These two are masterpieces of Greek literature. They also believe that he is the best writer ever and are called "poets."
