Monmouth University Achilles Trojan War Discussion
Question Description
1.A mist of black grief enveloped Achilles. / He scooped up fistfuls of sunburnt dust / And poured it on his head, fouling / His beautiful face. Black ash grimed / His fin-spun cloak as he stretched his huge body / Out in the dust and lay there, / tearing out his hair with his hands. Sure, Achilles’s best buddy is dead and he’s really feeling horrible here. Still, this seems more than just a war is hell reaction. What else is Achilles feeling here besides grief? Explain. Use text support to back up your claims.
2.Take a look at page 245, lines 112-121. What does Achilles realize here, and how can you connect this to other issues we’ve discussed in this epic?
3. These gods just cant stay out of this fight. Give two examples (one on the Greek side and one on the Trojan side) when the gods help the mortals.
