Iliad

When Achilles got mad and insulted when Agamemnon returned chyseis to her father but took his price briseis as a compensation. Achilles asked his mother to talked to Zeus and beg for its help. Making the Achaeans suffer great losses.

Movie troy In the movie it was very eminent that Agamemnon selfishness was the reason of war between Trojans and acheans and not to get Helen back.

Same in the book Achilles already know he gonna die when he chooses to join the battle against the Trojan. Their was no chryseis present in the movie, so no plague occurred. Only brieseis , and Achilles myrmidons took her as a prize for their boss. But Agamemnon stole bryseis to insult Achilles. God and goddesses are not involved in the movie. They didnt participate in the movie so unlike in the book no gods or goddesses help the mortals physically. And none of them fought during the battle. The movie revolved around the mortals only. In the movie hector didnt really want fight the Greeks because he knows that Trojan really done them wrong when his brother took Helen with them. but has no choice but to defend troy.

In the pem the God and Goddesses have some participation by giving the mortals in their side immense help. Like When a duel was set between paris and Menelaus and paris was about to lose Aphrodite whisks Paris away to his room in Priams palace, with Helen. Outrageously they made love while the others where looking for him.
Paris, doesnt like to fight, and correspondingly receives the scorn of both his family and his lover. Hector may prove overly impulsive and insufficiently prudent, but he does not come across as arrogant , plus the fact that he was just fighting for his homeland and wanted to defeat the Greeks.

Nestor begs Patroclus to persuade Achilles to rejoin the battleor at least enter the battle himself disguised in Achilles armor.
Achilles cannot control his pride or the rage that surges up when that pride is injured. driven primarily by a thirst for glory. Ultimately, he is willing to sacrifice everything else so that his name will be remembered. When patroclus died he was fill with such grief and rage which is not normal if patroclus is just a friend to him. So I think there was something between patroclus and Achilles.

On the fight of Achilles and hector, Achilles

chases him around the citys periphery three times, but the goddess athena tricks hector into turning around and faced Achilles that caused him his death.

Achilles was willing to sacrifice the glory of his name for briseis and choses to go back to his home with her. contradicting the one in the text where he and hector willingly
sacrifice the chance to live a long life with those they love.

Hector took the armor of patroclus and wear it

Hector must fight to the death in these episodes in order to redeem the honor that he loses earlier; after he recklessly orders his troops to camp outside the city walls, hen he strips Patroclus of Achilles armor, speeds the moment of his undoing, for Achilles knows exactly where that armor is vulnerable. Such interconnections between events seem to indicate that the universe has a cyclical or balanced nature: one swing of the pendulum leads to another, and an individuals actions come back to haunt him.

Unlike the story hector was regretful AND NOT PROUD killing patroclus when he realize it was not Achilles and it was early for him to die in his hands. He stopped the battle afterwards to give the Greeks proper burial especially for patroclus. In this part hector knew his doomed on the hands of Achilles. Unlike the story hector face achilles courageously even if he knEW he gonna die fighting him. he didnt run and fought Achilles.

Odyssey poem

the Odysseyconcerns itself much more with the unseen universe of the human heart, with feelings of loneliness, confusion, and desp air.

as Odysseus was sailing away with his men, his ego got the better of him. He taunted the Cyclops, telling him his real name. This was a dumb idea because Polyphemos was the son of Poseidon and this was the reason why Poseidon hates oysseus so much.

Odysseuss revenge will come at the expense not only of the truly malevolent suitors but also of the few who are not wholly bad individuals. the gods lift their favorite mortals to success and ensure that their enemies are crushed, just as Athena does with Odysseus and the suitors.

Odysseus believes that the height of glory is achieved by spreading his name abroad through great deeds. The mortal tendency to succumb to temptation manifests itself throughout Book , the members of his crew prove unable to resist looking into Aeoluss bag, and their greed ends up complicating their

The description of the suitors being led into the underworld is even more troubling, since it deviates from the Homeric principle that only the soul of a properly buried body can enter Hades

Characters in the poem Though they may be very complex and realistic, they do not change over the course of the work as characters in modern novels and stories do

The god and goddesses is present physically in the story and interacts with some of the characters.

On the story odysseus had an affair with circe and calypso. Though it was noticeable that he like circe because if not for the request of his servant to go back to Ithaca he will continuously stay with circe

Her astute delaying tactics reveal her sly and artful side. The notion of not remarrying until she completes a burial shroud that she will never complete cleverly buys her time.

Homer begins midway through Odysseuss wanderings. This presentation of events out of chronological sequence achieves several different goals: it immediately engages the interest of an audience already familiar with the details of Odysseuss journey; it provides narrative space for a long and evocative flashback later in the text

Homer introduces the hero Odysseus in a very unheroic way. We first find him sulk on a beach, yearning for home, alone except for the love-struck goddess who has imprisoned him there
