Thetis tried to make Achilles immortal by dipping him into the river styx. She dipped him in but forgot his heel, thus he was not completely immortal, and this is where we get the idea of the "achilles heel" He has two possible fates: If he goes to the war, he'll die young but he will always be remembered as a great warrior Or, he could have a long, inglorious life at home. He is mortal. The Will of Zeus How is the will of Zeus connected with and supportive of the "Theme of rage" What does this story tell us about the gods? about their relationships with each other? about their interactions with people? theology Hephaestus and the other gods Life on Olympus They do not drink wine, they drink- Nectar Ambrosia: what they eat instead of food ichor: what runs in the veins of the gods, not blood Hera/Zeus Hephaestus/Vulcan: the usual story of his birth is that Hera, in one of her fits at Zeus, decides that she is going to present him with a child all by herself, and the product was not a happy one. It was a god, but he was disfigured. He is the only one that is physically imperfect. He was the blacksmith god. The greeks didn't think of blacksmithing and jobs that kept you inside all the time were very good jobs. Better jobs were outside. He is also the god of architecture; handicrafts. What does it mean to be immortal? It is to live in a place where people don't/cant live. Have only immortal concerns. No limits. In the iliad, he is a peacemaker between Zeus and Hera Book 3 gets into the first of the battle narratives. Warefare: Ares Place The craziness of warfare Contrast: Athena Lover of Aphrodite: though aphrodite was the wife of hephaestus Hephaestus trap Menelaus As he goes of to battle he is called "Ares darling" Contrast Mars: the romans liked Mars more than the Greeks liked Ares. Not an attractive god to the greeks, but the romans thought of Mars as their founding god. Now that's odd?? -Book 3 Single Combat: why didn't it happen earlier instead of at the end of ten years of war? How do the ranks feel? (113, 332, 479) View from the wall: Priam wonders who are all of the greek heroes out in the greek's army? Why hasn't he wondered this earlier? How is Paris characterized? (31) What he has in looks, he lacks in bravery. He lacks skill in warfare. Similes: What is a simile? (28ff) Why does a simile serve a purpose? Ritual-oaths, truce, sacrifice Zeuz (324, 343) The outcome Helen: she talks negatively about herself, expresses a wish to be back with agamemnon and her abandoned child. She's very resentful of Aphrodite. Notice how prevalent rituals are: this was a society of ritual Book 4: On two planes Olympus Hera/Zeus Athena: Nike-figure of victory On the battlefield "things" (117) Menelaus's guardian Simile (140ff
