Question:

Ever read the "Iliad" ? IF SO HELP!?

Hey everyone thanks I had a few quick questions over this book and some of the meanings. I have to write a short paper over it and its kinda hard!!

I'll type one of the questions on my handout and I hope someone can help me out with it..thanks in advance!

"Theme is actually more important than storyline in the Iliad because "everyone" who heard the story as it was being delievered orally would literally already "knoww" it and its characters. What do we learn from the stories in the Iliad about life and culture in this part of the world (U.S)?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Absolutely nothing. The heroism of the Iliad died after World War II. Once you drop an atomic bomb, war changes forever.
