english greek homer

King Agamemnon takes away the prize of Achillês - the beautiful Briseïs. Achillês is about to strike him down when Athena, who is sent down from heaven, tells him: "I declare to you that a time will come when you shall have three times as much offered to make up for this insult."

Achillês throws himself by the sea and calls out his divine mother Thetis. He pleads with her to pray to Zeus to help the Trojans slaughter the Achaians, so that the king will see his mistakes of not respecting the best man of all.

Achillês withdraws completely from the battle. During this time, King Priam's son Hector, who leads the Trojans, kills Achillês' close friend Patroclus. This prompts Achillês to return to the battle. The gods go off to the battlefield and takes side at once.

Hector faces Achillês in combat and is killed when Achillês' spear strikes right through his neck. Hector's corpse is abused by Achillês, who drags the body in the dust, in full view of his maddened father, his weeping mother, and his grief stricken-wife.

Zeus summons Thetis to tell Achillês that the gods are angry and that he must accept ransom from King Priam and let Hector's corpse go. Achillês pities the old king and send women to prepare Hector's remains for its journey home.

TROY: WRATH OF DEMIGODS [SLOW UPDATES] by Iam_LewaKulture

"Is there no one else?" - Achilles "All men must die, but we are not men. We are Amazons." - Princess Diana When the grandson of Nereus and the granddaughter of Zeus cross swords, war erupts, and only one will live to tell the tale. Inspired by the movie Troy, this story reimagines the clash of warriors, gods, and destiny. For decades, Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, has waged war to unite Greece under his rule. Only Thessaly remains unconquered. Meanwhile, his brother, Menelaus, King of Sparta, seeks peace with Troy, the last great rival to Greek dominance. But peace is shattered when Paris, prince of Troy, seduces Helen, Queen of Sparta, and takes her back to his city. Enraged, Menelaus calls upon Agamemnon for vengeance. Seeing an opportunity to expand his power, Agamemnon assembles an army of 50,000 warriors and launches a thousand ships toward Troy. Among them is Achilles, son of the sea nymph Thetis and King Peleus, a warrior of unmatched skill and fury. A demigod with the blood of the gods coursing through his veins, Achilles fights for Greece, yet his disdain for Agamemnon threatens to unravel the fragile alliance. But the Greeks are not the only ones with divine blood on their side. Troy is protected by Diana, daughter of Athena and the mortal King Priam. A fierce Amazonian commander, Diana is a warrior born of wisdom and war, trained to lead, to conquer, and to protect her people at any cost. When she faces Achilles, their rivalry is instant, two demigods destined to clash in a battle that will shake the heavens. Swords will shatter. Blood will spill. And amidst the chaos of war, something forbidden begins to ignite between them, passion as dangerous as the battlefield itself. Will Achilles bring Troy to its knees, or will Diana prove that wisdom and strength together are mightier than rage? This story is inspired by Troy but takes its own path, weaving mythology, war, and fate into an epic tale of love, honor, and destiny. Lewa Kulture 2021©

The Aeneid By Virgil Written 19 B.C.E by Kliofran

The Aeneid is an epic poem written in 12 books and is modeled in part on the great Greek epic poems, on Homer's Iliadand Odyssey, and on Apollonius' Argonautica. The Iliad describes the exploits of Achilles and other Greek heroes in the Trojan War (the same war which forced Aeneas to leave Troy and is described in Book II of the Aeneid) whilst the Odyssey describes how Ulysses (or Odysseus in Greek) wandered for many years, trying to return home after the Trojan War. The first six books of the Aeneid parallel the Odyssey because they describe Aeneas' search for a home. Aeneas even stops in many of the same places that Odysseus did. There is an important difference, however, for whilst Odysseus was trying to return to his original home, Aeneas must find a new place in which to settle and make his home. The second six books parallel the Iliad, for they describe the war in Italy just as the Iliad describes the Trojan War. Again, there are many parallels. For example, the Trojans are besieged inside their fort in Italy just as they were trapped inside Troy. But again there is an important difference, since the Iliad describes how the Trojans lost the war and Troy fell but in theAeneid the Trojans win the war in Italy and get the chance to build a new city. Virgil imitates many scenes from both the Iliad and the Odyssey in his epic, but he always changes them in significant ways so that they illustrate his own Roman themes. One of the most important differences between Homer's epics and the Aeneid is that it can be read as a patriotic poem whilst the Iliad and the Odyssey are poems about individuals and their adventures.

Fate, however, has designs greater than his dreams. When the muse Calliope descends from Olympus, draped in a cloak woven from the light of the stars, she reveals to Leonidas his role in an age-old prophecy-one that speaks of a mortal who will stand against the turbulent tides of godly strife.
