Answer the 2 questions for a short discussion based on pages 84-112
1) How do you react to Priam’s actions when he confronts Achilles…is he brave, cowardly (and give some reasons for your opinions)? Consider not only what he does and asks for, but why he does it. And in turn, how do you react to Achilles here (in both his actions towards Hector’s body and towards the Trojan king)?
2) Why does Homer end the epic with Hector’s death? The myth well known to Homer and his audience continues with the Greeks breaching Troy’s walls by use of the famous Trojan Horse, Troy’s destruction, and even Achilles’ death, but Homer chooses not to go into those plot points, instead focusing on the prince’s funeral…why?
