Book XXIV Of 'The Iliad'
[ send me this paper ]
Honor is at stake and for honor men will die. This 5 page critical review of the classic story of the battle of Troy introduces the idea that there are three threads of interest in the Iliad. The first is the war between the Achaeans and Trojans. This is the setting and the motivation for action. The second is the code of Honor that prevails for both sides. The issues of courage, the sanctity of marriage and friendship and the honor given to those who live the code. The third is the subplot being lived out by the Gods and Goddesses. All of these elements serve to give the reader an understanding of the motives and behaviors that rule the souls of men. The paper examines the final chapter in relation to the development of these concepts. No additional sources cited.
