Greek and Roman Epic Essay: Homer’s Iliad Book 9
In Iliad Book 9 an embassy of three men, Odysseus, Phoinix and Aias, is sent by king Agamemnon to try to persuade Achilles to return to battle. Achilles rejects the appeals of all three, though not without significant yielding from his original hardline position each time. Make the best argument you can that might persuade Achilles to return, based on your understanding of the warrior code, the current political situation in the army, and what is at stake in the war at this point, as well as your understanding of what matters to Achilles personally. SEE ATTACHED WORD DOC. Please note the particular Book for paper. The version is Richmond Lattimore’s – The Iliad of Homer.
