I.Identificaiton(30%)
Identify the SPEAKER of each passage below. The same person may speak more
than one passage. Possible answers are Achilles, Agamemnon, Andromache, Apollo,
Athena, Chryses, Chryseis, Diomedes, Glaucus, Hector, Hecuba, Helen, Hephaestus,
Hera, Menelaus, Paris, Priam, Thetis, and Zeus.
1.Ah, the suffering you've had, and the courage
To come here alone to the Greek ships
And meet my eye, the man who slaughtered
Your many fine sons! You have a heart of iron.
2.Sons of Atreus and Greek heroes all:
May the gods on Olympus grant you plunder
of Priam's city and a safe return home.
But give me my daughter back and accept
This ransom out of respect for Zeus' son,
Lord Apollo, who deals with death from afar.
3.Achilles killed my father when he destroyed
Our city, Thebes eith its high gates,
But had too much respect to despoil his body.
He buried it instead with all his armor
And heaped up a barrow[...]
Mother, who was queen in the forests of Plakos,
He took back as prisoner, with all her possessions,
Them released her for a fortune in ransom.
4.I hear the gods calling me to my death.
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[...]My fate is here.
But I will not perish without some great deed
That future generations will remember.
5. I came to see if I could check this temper of yours,
Sent from heaven by the white-armed goddess
Hera, who loves and watches over both of you men.
Now come on, drop this quarrel, don't draw your sword.
Tell him off instead.
6.I never get a prize equal to yours when the army
Captures one of the Trojan strongholds.
No, I do all the dirty work with my own hands,
And when the battle's over and we divide the loot
You get the lion's share and I go back to the ships
With some pitiful little thing, so worn out from fighting
I don't have the strength left even to complain.
7.Achilles has lost all pity and has no shame left.
Shame sometimes hurts men, but it helps them too.
A man may lose someone dearer than Achilles has,
A brother from the same womb, or a son,
But when he has wept and mourned, he lets go.
The Fates have given men an enduring heart.
8.I know it's hard, mother, but you have to endure it.
I don't ant to see you getting beat up, and me
Unable to help you. The Olympian can be rough.
Once before when I tried to rescue you
He flipped me by my foot off our balcony.
I fell all day and come down when the sun did
On the island of Lemnos scarcely alive.
9.We have old ties of hospitality!
My grandfather Oeneus long ago
Entertained Bellerophon in his halls
For twenty days, and they gave each other
Gifts of friendship. Oeneus gave
A belt bright with scarlet, and Bellerophon
A golden cup, which I left at home.
10.I wish that on the day my mother bore me
A windstorm had swept me away to a mountain
Or into the waves of the restless sea,
Swept me away before all this could happen.
But since the gods have ordained these evils,
Why couldn't I be the wife of a better man,
One sensitive at least to repeated reproaches?
