Syllabus for 3/16 thru 3/20
WHAT ARE HOMER’S LESSONS ABOUT WAR AND LEADERSHIP? Take stock of the first half of Homer’s tale. How is the war going for the Greeks? Where do they stand in comparison to the Trojan and their allies’ defenses? From this point, we will see the tide turn against the Greeks, as Achilles’s fated return to battle occurs, and his divine wrath (menis) is unleashed upon Hector and his comrades.
