Study Questions for Western Literature

1. The Iliad focuses on the behavior of warriors in time of crisis and examines
what each person owes to him or herself and to the community. What does each of
the following characters owe to himself and to others: Agamemnon? Achilles?
Patroclus? Hector? Paris?

2. Achilles is acknowledged to be the greatest Greek warrior. Yet Homer focuses
on Achilles' quarrel with Agamemnon and its effect upon the Greeks rather than
on his heroic exploits. Why?

3. In the Iliad, why is a person's reputation worth more than wealth and power:
Is this still true today? Explain.

4. Why does Homer choose an argument over a woman as the cause of a tragic
quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles? Does it matter what actually causes the
quarrel? Explain.

5. When we evaluate a human being, we consider what kind of person he or she is
as well as the deeds he or she accomplishes. What kind of person is Agamemnon?
What tests of courage confront him? To what extent does he pass those tests?
What temptations does he find irresistible? Why? How does his behavior affect
his heroic image?
