The document summarizes Homer's epic poem The Iliad. It describes how the Trojan War began after Eris, the goddess of discord, tossed a golden apple among three goddesses and Paris chose Aphrodite, who promised him Helen, the most beautiful woman. This led Menelaus to call upon Greek forces to retrieve Helen. The war lasted 10 years and featured heroes like Achilles and Hector. It concludes with the Greeks tricking the Trojans into accepting the Trojan Horse, allowing the Greeks to invade Troy and burn the city, ending the war.
In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans (Greeks) after Paris of Troy took Helen from her husband Menelaus, king of Sparta. The war is one of the most important events in Greek mythology and has been narrated through many works of Greek literature, most notably Homer's Iliad.

I made this power point presentation in World Literature for I was assigned to report about the full story of "The Iliad" by Homer. Additionally, this presentation includes themes and literary approach applied in the story. I hope this could help you in literature subject. :)

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Homer’s Iliad
Homer is said to be the
first teller of
adventures of all
times. He was not the
first author because in
his day stories were
passed down---they
were told. He was a
blind man whose date
of birth is unknown.
3. Eris, Goddess of Discord
Angry because she was not invited to the
wedding of the Sea Goddess Thetis to King
Peleus, Eris tossed the Golden Apple marked
“To the Fairest” into the banquet.
4. The Fairest
Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena wanted the
apple
Zeus would not choose, he did not want the
goddesses angry with him
Paris was asked to make
the decision
5. The Decision
Hera offered to make
Paris ruler of Europe
and Asia
Athena offered to let
him lead Sparta in a
victory over the
Trojans
Aphrodite offered him
the most beautiful
woman in the world
6. Paris Chooses Aphrodite
The most beautiful woman
in the world is Helen, the
wife of King Menelaus
Aphrodite helps Paris
seduce and kidnap Helen
7. The Beginning of War
King Menelaus called on all those who were loyal to him.
They gathered a huge army, and built a thousand ships to carry
the army to Troy
Helen of Sparta was now called “Helen of Troy”
She was “The face that launched a thousand ships”
8. The Trojan War
The battle raged for 10
years
Many great heroes lost
their lives
A prophet predicted
that Troy could be
captured only with the
help of Achilles.
9. The Hero Achilles
Knowing of the prophecy, and worried
that her son would be killed in war,
Achilles’ mother dipped him in the
river Styx to make him immortal.
His only weakness was the place on his
heals where she held him.
During the war, Achilles is forced to
give up his war prize, a slave girl, to
Agamemnon, and so he refuses to fight.
Patroclus, his friend, asks Achilles if he
may ride out in his armor so the
Trojans would lose heart.
10. Achilles
Achilles agreed to allow his friend Patroclus to wear his armor.
The next day Patroclus was killed and stripped of the armor by
the Trojan hero Hector, who mistook him for Achilles.
Achilles was overwhelmed with grief for his friend and rage at
Hector.
Achilles kills Hector. He desecrated the body, dragging it
behind his chariot before the walls of Troy.
Finally Paris, aided by Apollo,
wounded Achilles in the heel
with an arrow; Achilles died of the wound.
11. 10 Years of War
The Gods are tired of watching men kill each
other, and decide to help end the war. Athena
whispers an idea in the Spartan hero Odysseus’s
ear.
12. The Trojan Horse
Odysseus tells them they
will build a huge horse of
wood.
Some would climb inside
and hide.
The rest would sail around
the tip of the island, where
they could not be seen.
One would stay behind
and tell the Trojans that he
had been abandoned by
the Greeks, and that the
horse was an offering to
Athena.
13. The Fall of Troy
The Trojans believed
the trick.
They had a huge
banquet to celebrate
the end of the war.
At night the men from
inside the horse came
out and unlocked the
gates to the city.
14. The Burning of Troy
The city is invaded by the
army.
The Trojans are drunk and
spent from their night of
revelry, unable to fight
back.
The Spartans destroy and
burn the city.
Aphrodite saves Helen
from the destruction.
15. The War Ends
King Menelaus
accepts Helen back.
The Warriors can now
return home.
Odysseus leaves for
home, and his wife
and son.
20. How were heroes characterized
in Homer’s day?
Special Aristocrats
or Demigods
Placed somewhere
between Gods and
ordinary humans.
21. How is Odysseus different from
other heroes?
Hero in Trouble
Clever (not just brute
strength)
Did not want to go to
war
22. Why did Odysseus object to the
Trojan War?
He believes no war
should be fought over
an unfaithful woman
(Helen)
He wants to stay at
home with his wife
and newborn son
23. Odysseus attempts to
“Draft Dodge”
Tried to appear insane by planting salt instead of
seeds.
Draft recruiters throw his son in front of his plow
Odysseus reveals his sanity by avoiding running
over Telemachus
24. The Epic Begins
Odysseus been gone 20
years
Telemachus is 20 years old
Suitors have invaded his
house, robbing him of his
inheritance, and attempt to
marry his mother Penelope
(Odysseus’s Wife)
