試題 :
I. Identify the speaker of each passage quoted from the Iliad.
A name list is for your reference: Achilles, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Phoenix,
Hector, Hermes, Andromache, Helen, Hecuba, Patroclus, Priam, Calcas, Apollo
Zeus, Hera, Hephaestus, Athena, Thetis. (30%)
1. But you can still let go of your anger, right now.
Agamemnon is offering you worthy gifts
If you will give up your grudge. Hear me
While I list the gifts he proposed in his hut:
2. What a spring the man has! Nice dive!
Think of the oysters he could come up with
If he were out at sea, jumping off the boat
In all sorts of weather, to judge by the dive
3. Don't let me ever catch you, old man, by these ships again,
Skulking around now or sneaking back later.
The god's staff and ribbons won't save you next time.
The girl is mine, and she'll be an old woman in Argos
4. Yes, for Prayers are daughters of great Zeus.
Lame and wrinklrd and with eyes averted
They are careful to follow in Folly's footsteps,
But Folly is strong and fleet, and outruns them all,
5. You came and loosened him from his chains,
And you lured to Olympus' summit the giant
With a hundred hands whom the gods call
Briareus but men call Aegaeon, stronger
Even than his own father Uranus,
6. Then the dread goddess I revere
In inside. She saved me when I lay suffering
From my long fall, after my shameless mother
Threw me out, wanting to hide me infirmity.
7. I thought I had a good man here with me.
Deiphobus, but he's still on the wall.
Athena tricked me. Death is closing in
And there's no escape.
8. What you say might be true, Silverbow
If we valued Achilles and Hector equally.
But Hector is mortal and suckled at a woman's breast,
While Achilles is born of a goddess whom I
Nourished and reared myself, and gave to a man,
Peleus, beloved of the gods, to be his wife.
9. I had seven brothers once in that great house.
All seven went down to Hades on a single day,
Cut down by Achilles in one blinding sprint
Through their shambling cattle and silver sheep.
10. if ever I've soothed you
With this breast, remember it now, son, and
Have pity on me. Don't pit yourself
Against that madman. Come inside the wall.
