[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper on qualities of Greek civilization which are revealed in Homer’s “The Odyssey”. Homer’s “The Odyssey” was written around the year 750 B.C. and in addition to providing a great tale about the adventures of the king Odysseus, it also reveals aspects and qualities of the ancient civilization in Greece at that time. While Greece was recovering from the Trojan War, the journeys of Odysseus reveal to the readers that the ancients Gods and myths played a major role in everyday life and recollection of events in addition to the admiration of the qualities of hospitality, honor, athletic ability, story telling, organization and song within the everyday lives of the Greeks while qualities such as pride and arrogance were abhorred. While most of the events centered on the people from the higher classes, the lives of the slaves and common men are also included which gives the reader an added dimension to the complex societal structure which also existed.

Book XXIV Of 'The Iliad'
[ send me this paper ]
Honor is at stake and for honor men will die. This 5 page critical review of the classic story of the battle of Troy introduces the idea that there are three threads of interest in the Iliad. The first is the war between the Achaeans and Trojans. This is the setting and the motivation for action. The second is the code of Honor that prevails for both sides. The issues of courage, the sanctity of marriage and friendship and the honor given to those who live the code. The third is the subplot being lived out by the Gods and Goddesses. All of these elements serve to give the reader an understanding of the motives and behaviors that rule the souls of men. The paper examines the final chapter in relation to the development of these concepts. No additional sources cited.

Chaereas
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that offers a character sketch of Chaereas, the young male protagonist of the ancient Greek saga "Chaereas and Callirhoe," which is a tale of love and adventure. The writer argues that this is also a tale that encompasses the Greek emphasis on the dangers of pride. Chaereas, a bold and beautiful young man, comes close to ruining his life due to his indulgence in pride and his failure to stop and think before acting. Therefore, an examination of how this ancient author portrayed Chaereas' character reveals a great deal about Greek cultural values. No additional sources cited.

Chaereas and Callirhoe/An Ephesian Tale
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that compares and contrasts the ancient Greek narratives of Chaereas and Callirhoe and An Ephesian Tale. The writer argues that these stories express a similar perspective on the topic of love and the manner in which romantic love manifests itself in human society, that is, through the action of the god Eros. This similarity is evident from the beginning of each tale, in which the handsome male protagonist is shown, despite personal beauty and ability, to be at the mercy of the god and also to possess enormous pride, which serves as the rationale to justify the trials and tribulations that are encountered in the story. No bibliography is offered.
