Block Day, Sept. 30 ~ Troy continues!

Some Vocab for Epics and the rest of The Iliad:

1. philos - love for fellow warriors
2. menis - rage (almost a demonic, god-like rage)
3. kleos - a glorious reputation AND its poetic propagation
4. arete - virtue (manliness)
5. aidos - shame
6. aristeia - prowess

Journal 18: The Iliad via Troy
*BTW, Journals 12-17 were the various learning activities from student presentations. 

1. Give at least five examples from the movie when the concept of kleos is shown.
2. Compare the arete of Hector and Paris. 
3. How does Achilles project his aristeia. Why doesn't Menaleus discipline him? 
4. How are Achilles and Paris at opposite extremes of the spectrum when it comes to heroic identity/values? 
5. What is wrong with Agamemnon’s gift, his offer of reconciliation, to Achilles? In other words, how is his huge offer an assertion of superiority?
