Illiad: The Death of Hector Book XXII By Homer (uses a lot of figures of speech, dramatic, better visualization, blind man) Hectors Death for the people of troy, courage, determination, PRIDE (hubris; overwhelming pride), downfall ACHILLES : star that rears at harvest; brings about the fall of troy, bad luck, destruction Oh if only the gods loved him as much as I do (IRONY) LINE 48 No, he waited Achilles, coming on, gigantic in power. As a snake in the hills, guarding his hole, awaits a man bloated with poison, deadly hatred seething inside him. LINE 111 113 (SIMILE) I would die of shame to face the men of Troy cannot accept defeat; hopeless; proud Zeus does not have his own will/judgment Unbearable a man I love, hunted round his own city walls and right before my eyes. My heart grieves fro Hector. Hector who burned so many oxen in my honor, rich cuts, now on the rugged crests of Ida, now on Iliums heights. LINES 201 204 (Zeus speaking) Athena was jealous because Paris gave the golden apple to Aphrodite Lines 212 216; But immortal Athena, her gray eyes wide, protested strongly: Father! Lord of the lightning, king of the black cloud, what are you saying? A man, a mere mortal, his doom sealed long ago? Youd set him free from all the pains of death? Do as you please but none of the deathless gods will ever praise you. Zeus was afraid of Athena (Lines 217 221) Courage, Athena, third-born of the gods, dear child. Nothing I said was meant in earnest, trust me, I mean you all the good will in the world. Go, do as your own impulse bids you. Hold back no more. Athena fooled Hector. She pretended to be Deiphobus (Hectors brother) to persuade him to fight against Achilles and not run away. Lines 341 348 Shaft poised, he hurled and his spears long shadow flew it and struck Achilles shield a dead center hit but on and away it glanced

and Hector seethed, his hurtling spear, his whole arms power poured into a wasted shot. He stood there, cast down he had no spear in reserve. So Hector shouted out to Deiphobus bearing his white shield with a ringing shout he called for a heavy lance but the man was nowhere near him, vanished Lines 398 405 Struggling for breath, Hector, his helmet flashing, said, I beg you, beg you by your life, your parents dont let the dogs devour me by the Argive ships!

Grief of the Trojans Lines 477 480 So as his whole head was dragged down in dust. And now his mother began to tear her hair She flung her shining veil to the ground and raised a high, shattering scream, looking down at her son. Line 466 476 on shaming noble Hector. Piercing the tendons, ankle to heel behind both feet, he knotted straps of rawhide through them both, lashed them to his chariot, left the head to drag and mounting the car, hoisting the famous arms abroad, he whipped his team to a rum and breakneck on they flew, holding back. And a thick cloud of dust rose up from the man they dragged, his dark hair swirling round that head so handsome once, all tumbled low in the dust --- since Zeus had given him over to his enemies now to be defiled in the land of his own fathers

In My Eyes He Matches the Gods by Sappho (Greece) In My Eyes he matches the gods, That man who sits there facing you --any man whatever-listening from closely to the sweetness of your voice as you talk The sweetness of your laughter; yes, that -- I swear it sets the heart shaking inside my breast, since once I look at you for a moment, I cant speak any longer But my tongue breaks down, and then all at once a subtle fire races inside my skin, my eyes cant see a thing and a whamming whistle thrums at my hearing Cold sweat covers me and a trembling takes a hold of me Im greener than the grass is And appear to myself to be little short of dying (But all must be endured, since even a poor) Judging a person before getting to know him/her

The Story of Pyramus and Thisbe by Ovid (ROME) As told by Ovid, this story is similar to Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet. It takes place in ancient Babylon, where these 2 children grew up in a one room house that was connected to the other. Over the years, they fell in love with each other, but could only talk through a hole in their wall because their parents refused the to see each other. Finally, Pyramus got fed up with his parents and so did Thisbe. They

decided to run off one night and elope. Pyramus gave thisbe the location (TOMB OF NINUS) of the place they would meet, and they agreed. Thisbe was the first to arrive at the Mulberry tree outside the city, but as she was waiting, a lioness walked by with her jaws covered in blood from a previous kill that day. Thisbe, frightened at her sight, ran non stop to the nearest cave. Soon after, Pyramus walked by and saw a cloak, his love gift to her covered in blood and torn to pieces with the foot prints of the lioness left behind. He immediately thought that his only love had been killed by a hungry lion, and unsheathed his sword (her love gift to him), letting the cold, hard steel pierce his broken heart. Thisbe, bringing courage to her heart, ran back and found her only love lying on the ground next to the blood covered mulberry tree with his sword impaling his chest. She gasped in honor as she asked the still breathing Pyramus what happened. Barely able to stay awake, she told her what happened and she cried in sorrow. She took Pyramus blood stained sword and asked him to wait for her while she brought the blade into her own soft flesh Thus they died. Together, in love and peace. This is why the berries on the Mulberry tree/bush are red, instead of their original white, in commemoration of the 2 young lovers and their great sacrifice.
