The Lack of Credibility in Homer's Iliad

Most of the criticisms of Homer 's "Iliad" are focused on events of the story, the importance of the image, the symbol, the role of Greek gods, and the character of the story. Many critics seem to have forgotten the important role of Homer as a narrator of the event. His story destroyed the story. He is the medium to tell stories. Perhaps Homer 's ambiguity is unknown to the fact that it was an oral story before it was written in today' s form, and many critics supervise the quality of Homer 's "Iliad" story That's why. .

Virgil's Aeneid is similar to Homer's epic (Latin translation) - it borrows Iliad and Odyssey extensively - but that politics is anti-Greek, which lacks a deep observation of Homer's satire and human violence It is. . Maybe Virgil can achieve all the effects of Homer if he tried - he is a very nice imitator - but the agenda of Virgil is determined by Roman imperialism politics. "Holy Roman Empire" is the dream of the medieval monarch who mastered the power of Augustus and Roman Emperor. It was closest to what was achieved by Frank King Charlemagne (known as Emperor 742-814 in Rome in 800 BC). The emperor of the future continues to recognize the value of propaganda. Einhard's Charlemagne Life (829) is the cornerstone of Charlemagne Empire.

Homer is known for the two epic "Iliad" and "Odyssey". Iliad is generally considered the oldest piece of Western literature. Even if the Greeks themselves recognized the influence of Homer, they did not think that they themselves were educated unless they read his work. Whether Homer is truly a historical figure is controversial. Some scholars believe that Iliad and Odyssey are works of many writers, not a single writer. No matter who wrote, Iliad and Odyssey had a great impact on literature. In fact, even Shakespeare is the play of his Iliad drama.

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."
