One of the greatest story ever told. In Iliad we saw Achilles downfall as he was consumed by Rage making his tragic fate decided by the gods. In Odyssey we witness Odysseus courage by breaking the shackles of fate set by the gods and weaved his own destiny to return to his home. Homer is by far the best story teller ever.
@LessonsfromtheelderlyАй бұрын
Absolutely! 🌟 Homer truly masterfully weaves themes of fate and free will throughout his epic tales. The contrast between Achilles’ tragic downfall and Odysseus’ brave defiance is fascinating. As the wise goddess Athena once said, 'Wisdom begins in wonder.' It’s incredible how these stories continue to inspire wonder and reflection on our own destinies! 📖✨

Odysseus proved himself the wisest of the heroes of Troy by choosing the right woman and conducting himself honorably. Penelope, Clytemnestra and Helen were cousins. Helen was unfaithful, Clytemnestra not only that but murdered her husband to run off with a lover. Meanwhile Penelope did all she could to hold Ithaca together while faithfully waiting for her husband's return.

he was great, but he wasn't really a hero...a women left her husband to be with someone she wanted(helen even if it was a trick by the gods, but that happened in real life too so, she didn't want menalus but wanted Paris. ) So this guy was called to go over to a foreign war, to get something he had no part in. Just to be lost at sea. Maybe he was a hero to his family after he came back. But he wouldn't have been a hero without that one thing. And that was a selfish thing, so really...how can he even be called a hero? He didn't blind the cyclops to stop him from killing people, he did it to escape. everything he did was selfish

In this story, they mention that the hero Ajax died at sea after the trojan war ended, which is contradictory to what is said in the Iliad where he commited suicide by impaling himself on his sword in front of his companions in the greek camp.
@dootznbootz Жыл бұрын
There were two Ajax. "Greater Ajax", Son of Telamon, the one you're talking about, and "Lesser Ajax", Son of Oileus, King of Locris (think of the whole "same name" thing as how in modern day there are many "Johns" out there, especially in the US). Most likely given the names based on their sizes/ages as Greater Ajax was a very large and mighty warrior. Lesser Ajax had the smaller frame and was kind of considered a coward in many ways as he basically only used the bow in the Iliad and was very fast. His forcing himself upon Cassandra during the Fall of Troy is what angered the gods as it was in Athena's Temple as well. Odysseus was the one who caught him in the act and was said to be the only one who wanted to stone him. Most of the other kings said that Lesser Ajax pleaded with Athena and that they would be fine. Odysseus and Agamemnon were said to be the only ones who stayed behind in Troy a little longer to give proper sacrifices to the gods before setting sail. Another little fun fact! During Patroclus' funeral games, Odysseus was very very close to beating him in the footrace but just needed a little luck. He prayed to Athena to give him a burst of power and she did. Not only that, she made Lesser Ajax trip and landed face-first into cow dung! (I think it's Homer's foreshadowing her future dislike of him in a way) Odysseus also got into a tie in the wrestling match against Greater Ajax in the funeral games, which is funny because Greater Ajax was basically the largest man on the Greek's side and Odysseus was more "Medium". Diomedes I believe, was said to be one of the shortest men, which makes it all the cooler that he's such an amazing warrior and literally was fighting gods despite being mortal. He's a literal Short King! (I'm not an expert and sadly most of what we know about the fall of Troy is mostly lost to time, but that's what I know! 😊It's good to do your own research as well!)
@nordsauvage Жыл бұрын
@@dootznbootz Thank you for shedding light upon this briefly confusing episode of eponymous heroes. Greater Ajax was omnipresent in the Iliad movie and lesser Ajax was not even mentioned. It is therefore strange that the other heroes were mourning the loss of a character that was not part of the story to begin with, where as their good friend seems to have vanished from their memory. Otherwise, i must say that these two cartoon movies about a monument of epic litterature were quite excellent.

He then leaves them, gets home and cleans house.
