The Iliad

God's intervention is "a direct and obvious intervention in human relationships by God or goddess". In various myths such as Iliad, Gilgamesh and Hercules epic, divine intervention is necessary to suppress the destructive or overwhelming power of the hero. Although God's intervention is used to harm the different heroes, the purpose of the constraints is the same in all stories. Homer 's "Iliad": Volume 20 depicts the war between Trotroans and Acha soon after the death of Patroclus (Lat. El Moore Chapter 16), the gods must intervene Achilles' destructibility As a result of greater loss due to sadness and anger to limit

Iliad is an early work (first written). The incident in Odyssey is also a direct consequence of the event that happened in Iliad The reader of Odyssey is believed to know the outline of Iliad's conspiracy and who the hero is. Therefore, it is natural to read Iliad first. I can not argue which is more attractive to read, but it is much easier to read because the Odyssey has a more autonomous alternative (stage of navigation) and fewer letters. Iliad is darker to read (and bloodshed), and according to the nature of its contents, the imagination of the poet is less decorated. For children and young readers in particular, we recommend you read the Odyssey first. For example, the Greek public school system taught Odyssey in front of Iliad (they are currently in seventh grade, but Iliad was taught in the eighth grade when I attended school).

Odyssey is everything that Iliad does not have in many ways. In the place where Iliad was about the war, the Odyssey was back home. Iliad was resolutely restored for a few days (in a 10-year conflict) and in a narrow range of land (between Troy and Achaia's refugee camp), the scope of Odyssey has been the past decades (mainly Odysseus X) This year's change We know both of the unknown land. In the eyes of Odyssey is accompanied by various fantastic folklore elements with one eye monster, witch, and ungrateful dead. Basically, Achilles is known for its strength and strength, Odysseus is known for his endurance and intelligence.
