BIOGRAPHY HOMERO
Homer was A Greek poet, to whom are attributed the great epics, the Iliad, the story of the siege of Troy, and the Odyssey, the tale of Ulysses's wanderings. The place of hisbirth is doubtful, probably a Greek colony on the coast of Asia Minor, and his date, once put as far back as 1200 BC, from the style of the poems attributed to him is now thought to be much later.Arguments have long raged over whether his works are in fact by the same hand, or have their origins in the lays of Homer and his followers (Homeridae), and there seems little doubt that the works wereoriginally based on current ballads which were much modified and extended. Of the true Homer, nothing is positively known. The so-called Homeric hymns are certainly of a later age.
CHARACTERS
*Zeus: King of the Gods. If you want something, get it. Nobody messes with him.
* Agamemnon: He is the main Achaean. He's the head but not the best warrior. His brother Menelaus is married toHelena.
* Athena: Goddess of wisdom. She supports the Achaeans because Paris said that Aphrodite was the most beautiful goddess.
* Odysseus is supposed Achaean Guerrero is very clever. He isthe character of the Odyssey staff, also written by Homer.
ENSSAY
Book II of Iliad opens with the god Zeus unable to sleep and restless. In Zeus restlessness he creates a plan to aid the Trojans bysending a deceiving dream to Agamemnon. So Zeus calls the deceiving dream to him like a messenger whom he gives detailed instructions and sends off into the night to deceive Agamemnon.
The dreamgoes to Agamemnon following the precise instruction of Zeus. The dream appears to Agamemnon in the appearance of Nestor and delivers a false prophecy to Agamemnon that if he gathers his armies in themorning and rides against the Trojans that victory will be his.
Agamemnon unquestioningly believes this dream message sent by Zeus and upon waking pulls together the leaders of the Achaeans army....
