Homer's Iliad
It was only after the discovery of the ruins of Troy in Turkey by the German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann that the famous Trojan War ceased to be a mythological story and became history. It was the most important Mycenaean expansion and is a mystery why the Achaeans, after dominating Troy has not been settled in the conquered lands.
The Iliad, the epic masterpiece of the most universal and ancient literature West recounts the heroic deeds of the Achaeans led by Agamemnon, king of Mycenae, against the Trojans. The title of the work derives from the word "Troy", the name given by the Greeks to Troy. Attributed to Homer, was probably written in the sign VII BC, that is several centuries after the supposed war against Troy.
The poem sings the last year of the war and begins with the wrath of Achilles, Greek hero, son of King Peleus and the Nereid Thetis. This offended by Agamemnon who had robbed a Trojan slave girl Briseis name is removed from the contest.
Passivity Achilles light-footed, resulted in severe losses for the Greeks to the Trojan prince Hector, killer of men, kills his friend Patroclus, who was wearing his armor . In revenge, Achilles returned to the fight and annihilate after Hector in single combat, ties him to his war-horse and humiliating walk to the walls of Troy for twelve days. King Priam, one of the most beautiful passages of the Iliad, pray for the return of her son's body. The play ends with the Trojan hero's funeral.
"... King Priam entered without being seen, went up to Achilles he clasped his knees and kissed the dread murderous hands that had slain so many sons. How are astonished that, being in the house of a rich, come get to a man who, possessed by the cruel obfuscation, killed in their homeland to another man and has migrated to foreign country, just as asombróse see the godlike Achilles Priam, and others also were surprised and looked at each other. Achilles and Priam begged, giving him these words:
Think of your father, Achilles, godlike, which is the same age as me and has reached the threshold of old age fatal. Perhaps near him harass him and no one will save them from misery and ruin, but the he hears you live, rejoices in his heart and hopes from day to day you have to see his son, arrived from Troy. But I, wretched man, after he fathered children in the spacious great Troy, I can say that none of them is me. Fifty had when it came the Achaeans: nineteen were from a single womb, to the other women of my household gave birth in the palace. For the more the raging Ares knees were broken, and that was unique to me, for defending the city and its inhabitants, you killed that little has, while fighting for their country, Hector, for whom I come now to ships of the Achaeans, to redeem you, and bring a huge ransom. But, respect the gods, Achilles, and have mercy on me, remembering your father that I am even more worthy of pity, because I dared what no other mortal on earth: to take my hand mouth man slew my son.
Thus spoke. A desire Achilles came to mourn his father, and he took the hand moved him gently away. Delivered either to the memories, Priam, fell at the feet of Achilles, weeping copiously by Hector, killer of men, and sometimes cried Achilles his father and other Patroclus, and the groans of both of us stood in the store. More so the Achilles got tired of crying and the desire ceased sobbing into his soul and its members, alzose of the chair, took her by the hand to old to get up, and looking compassionate his white head and white beard, said to him winged words:
- Ah, unhappy ! Many are the woes that your spirit has endured. Osaste How come alone to the ships of the Achaeans, in the eyes of the man that killed so many brave sons? You must have iron hearts. But come, sits in this chair, and though we are both afflicted, let his soul rest in penalties, for the sad tears to no avail. The gods destined to befall mankind to live in sorrow, and only they are descuitados. On the threshold Zeus Palace two barrels of gifts that God divided: one is the evil and on the other property. He whom Zeus, who delights in thunder, they are giving mixed, sometimes runs into misfortune and good fortune with others, but which receives only punishment lives with shame, a great famine haunts him on the holy earth and going from one place to another without being honored by the gods or not by men. So the gods made clear Peleus gifts from his birth was ahead of the other men in prosperity and wealth, was king over the Myrmidons, and, being mortal, gave to wife a goddess. But it also imposed an evil god, that did not have children then reign in the palace. Only generated one, to me, whose life must be short, and does not care in old age, I must stay here at Troy, far from the homeland, to contristarte you and your children. And they say that you too, old man, you were happy once, and that the space that includes Lesbos, where he reigned Macar, and higher up the Hellespont, Phrygia immense, stood out among all of your wealth and your offspring. But from that heaven sent this evil, sucédense around the city battles and massacres of men. Súfrelo resigned and do not let your heart take over endless grief, because nothing will get Mourn for your child, or be able to get up, before you have that having a new evil ... "According to mythology
the Trojan War had originated nine years ago, when Paris, son of Priam, king of Troy abducted the wife of Menelaus. Agamemnon, king of Mycenae and brother of Menelaus calls upon all the Greek heroes in a war that lasted ten years. The legend ends with wooden horse, designed by Odyssey or Ulysses. The Greeks pretend to withdraw their ships from the coasts of Troy, leaving a gigantic horse, which is carried by the Trojans within their walls as trophies of war. At night, after celebrating the alleged victory, the Greeks hidden inside the animal, go and burn the city.
is necessary to note that throughout the poem the life, triumphs and defeats both the Greeks and the Trojans are in the hands of the gods, which were divided equally into two camps, one supporting the other Trojans and the Achaeans. In this respect, even discussing the morality of the gods who handled like puppets the destinies of men. In the song XIV, for example, called "Deception of Zeus." The goddess Hera seduces Zeus and then make love in a golden cloud, put you to sleep to get their proteges gain advantage in the struggle. This episode was harshly criticized by Plato in his book "The Republic" In the twentieth singing "The Battle of the Gods" Zeus removed order of non-intervention and the gods can help free the heroes of your choice. It is also characteristic of the work Homeric use of literary metaphors and similes in which comparing two or more things together.
