The Trojan War began after Paris, a Trojan prince, judged Aphrodite as the fairest goddess and received Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus, as a prize. This led Menelaus and his brother Agamemnon to launch an attack on Troy with their armies to retrieve Helen. The war lasted for 10 years and featured notable figures on both sides, including Hector and Achilles, until the Greeks devised the Trojan Horse trick to infiltrate and burn Troy, ending the war.

THE ILIAD
INFORMATION ABOUT:
WHY ARE WE READING SELECTIONS FROM THE ILIAD?
The study of Humanities considers human beings’ reaction to the human struggle… archaeological sites provide a few clues.
As soon as writing is invented and we have actual records of the stories people told about themselves, there’s a much clearer picture.
Some of the stories are versions of myths that had already been passed down by word of mouth for centuries.
Some of the stories are accounts of historical events.
Sometimes we’re not sure which is which –
We already read Gilgamesh, which is clearly mythic – but it may dimly reflect some real historical events.
There was an ancient city named Uruk. There were earthquakes in the region that may have produced stories of “The Bull of Heaven” trampling the earth.
The entirely fantastic aspects of the story (like the
transformation of Enkidu, the slaying of Humbaba,
and the journey across the Waters of Death to meet
Utnapishtim, the man who would live forever) still
imply a wrenching transition as human beings shift-
ed from wilderness living to cities , and the growing
self-consciousness that forced them to confront their
own mortality. Most of these old stories include a
character attempting to outwit Death.
The Iliad is a natural next step in this series.
It’s not as old as Gilgamesh, but still very ancient – about 600 years older than the familiar version of the Hebrew Bible.
It is not a written version of garbled oral traditions, but a poem apparently composed by a single literary artist.
Supposedly, this writer was Homer, according to tradition a blind poet who lived “sometime between” the 12th and 8th centuries BCE – but there is no real proof that this person ever existed.
It involves the Trojan War, which was long considered a myth – but now there is growing archaeological evidence
that it may actually have happened .
However, if The Iliad has one foot in history, it
has the other foot in sheer mythology and the
antics of the Greek gods.
And it has a hero who, like Gilgamesh, is half god,
but confronts the fact that he will one day die. Homer: portrait of a man who may never have lived.
DID THE TROJAN WAR REALLY HAPPEN?
The ancients believed the Trojan War had really happened, and the date they gave was 1184 BCE.
In the 1870s, Heinrich Schliemann, a very wealthy German businessman who was fascinated with the legend of Troy, sponsored an archaeolog-cal dig in the area of Turkey where the city was supposed to have been.
Problem: they found the ruins of nine Troys, one on top of the other… number seven, which showed evidence of destruction by fire, is the strongest candidate for an actual Troy that corresponds to t.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. Beginning of Trojan War
Marriage of Thetis & Peleus
The king of the gods, Zeus, received a prophecy which
stated that any child he had with the sea-nymph Thetis
would cause his death. To prevent this he arranged her
marriage to the human Peleus.
The wedding was a huge event. All the gods were
invited except the goddess, Discord. Discord got her
revenge through a unique gift which sent
reverberations throughout the world.
Thetis and Peleus had a happy marriage and produced
one son: Achilles.
Timeline
2. Apple of Discord
The goddess Discord was unhappy at being the only
divinity who was not invited to the wedding of the sea
nymph Thetis and King Peleus. As revenge, she plucks a
golden apple from the Garden of the Hesperides and
attaches a tag to the apple which reads: For the Fairest.
Discord then tosses the apple into the wedding reception
and waits to watch the results.
Three goddesses step forward to claim the apple: Hera,
Athena, and Aphrodite. They cannot decide among
themselves who is fairest, so they take their cases to Zeus.
Zeus, husband of Hera and father of Athena and Aphrodite,
refuses to intervene. He tosses the apple over his shoulder.
The apple bounces to earth and lands at the feet of Paris.
Timeline
3. Prologue: Judgment of Paris
As the adopted son of a
shepherd, Paris is tending
flocks one day when a
golden apple falls at his
feet. Three goddess then
appear: Hera, Athena, and
Aphrodite. Each goddess
promises a unique gift if he
will declare her the most
beautiful. Aphrodite’s
promise of the most
beautiful in the world sways
Paris to choose her.

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.
TROY- A great city very rich and powerful, second to
none on earth. The cause of the lasting fame was a war
told of in one of the world’s greatest poems, the Iliad.

King Priam Queen Hecuba
Prince Hector Prince Paris Princess Cassandra
Timeline
8. Prince Hector
Prince Hector is the eldest son of Priam and Hecuba
and the leader of the Trojan army. Hector realizes that
the Trojans will likely lose the war, but believes that he
is honor-bound to defend his brother, his city, his
family, and his people.
Timeline
9. Prince Paris
Before his birth, the prophets of Troy foretold that
Prince Paris would cause the destruction of the city.
Consequently, his parents decided to have him left on a
mountainside and let the gods determine his fate. Paris
was found by shepherd and raised as his son.
Eventually, Paris returns to Troy where he is
miraculously recognized by Queen Hecuba as her long –
lost son. The king and queen restore Paris to his
birthright. In his first official duty as a Trojan Prince,
Paris travels to Sparta to negotiate a treaty with King
Menelaus. In Sparta, Paris meets and falls in love with
Helen.
Timeline
10. Princess Cassandra
The Trojan princess Cassandra was granted the gift of
prophecy by Apollo due to her beauty. Cassandra,
however, did not return the god’s love. Unable to
revoke his gift, but enraged at his rejection, Apollo
cursed Cassandra to see the future, but not to be
believed.
Cassandra is one of several Trojans who prophesied
that Prince Paris would cause the destruction of Troy.
After the Trojans are defeated, Cassandra is taken as
a war-prize by Agamemnon, whose death she also
correctly prophesies.
Timeline
11. King Priam
Priam is king of the city-state of Troy, husband of Hecuba,
and father of Hector, Paris, and Cassandra.
Priam feels guilty about abandoning Paris as a child, thus,
when Paris reappears he reinstates him as a Prince of Troy.
Likewise, when Paris returns from Sparta with Helen, Priam
indulges his son and allows Helen to stay, though he may
lose his life and his city.
After the death and
desecration of Hector,
Priam goes into the
Achaean camp late one
night to beg Achilles to
return the body.
Timeline Priam ransoms Hector,, red-figure vase, unknown, Louvre
12. Helen of Troy/ Helen of Sparta
Simply, Helen is the cause of the Trojan War.
Lawfully, Helen is married to the Achaean Menelaus,
king of Sparta. Throughout the Trojan War, however,
she resides in Troy as the wife of Prince Paris. (Ancient
sources are ambiguous about Helen’s willingness to go
to Troy.) Menelaus (and the other Achaeans) are bound
by oath to fight for Helen, and war ensues.
Helen, the daughter of Zeus, is noteworthy for her
otherworldly beauty, which drives men to do amazing
things.
Timeline
13. Achilles
Achilles is the only son of Thetis and Peleus. After Achilles
was born, Thetis dipped him by the heel in the River Styx
which encircles Hades. This unusual baptism provided
protection to Achilles from all weapons. His heel, however,
which Thetis was holding, was not protected.
Homer’s Iliad focuses on the wrath of Achilles. Achilles is
first angry that Agamemnon insults him before the other
Achaeans by taking his war-prize. The death of his close
Timeline
friend Patroclus further incites
Achilles, convincing him to return
to the war to avenge his friend.
Achilles kills the Trojan Hector.
Paris (with the aid of Apollo) kills
Achilles by shooting Achilles in
his unprotected heel.
Achilles kills Hector, red-figure vase, unknown, Louvrre
14. Patroclus
Patroclus was brought into the house of Peleus and
raised alongside Peleus’ son Achilles. The two became
the closest of friends.
Once Achilles withdraws from the war in anger, the
Trojans gain an advantage. Patroclus realizes this and
begs Achilles to return to the battle. Achilles refuses to
go himself but allows Patroclus to go in his distinctive
armor to raise the morale of the Achaean fighters.
Hector kills Patroclus. In a rage over his friend’s death,
Achilles returns to the war to hunt and kill Hector.
Timeline
15. Briseis & Chryseis
Briseis and Chryseis were women taken as slaves during
an Achaean raid on a town near Troy. Briseis was given as
a war-prize to Achilles, while Chryseis was given to
Agamemnon. The father of Chryseis was a priest of
Apollo. When the Achaeans refused to return his daughter,
he asked Apollo for help. Apollo sent a plague on the
Achaeans. Agamemnon finally agreed to return Chryseis,
if he was compensated with another woman. He chose
Briseis. The appropriation of his war-prize angered
Achilles and he refused to continue fighting without an
acknowledgement of his contribution to the war.
Many Achaeans try to get Achilles to return, but only the
death of his friend Patroclus convinces him.
Timeline
16. Odysseus
Odysseus is an intelligent and tricky
character in mythology. He helps
Tyndareus by devising the oath sworn
by Helen’s suitors, and gained one of
Helen’s sisters as his own wife. He was
the mediator in the dispute between
Agamemnon and Achilles. Odysseus
also devised the Trojan Horse and the
plot to infiltrate and destroy Troy.
Odysseus’ famous 10-year journey
home is chronicled in The Odyssey.
Timeline
Odysseus, red-figure vase, unknown, Louvrre
17. Trojan Horse
The Trojan Horse was planned by Odysseus to infiltrate Troy
and end the war. The Achaeans built a massive wooden
horse and hid a contingent inside of it. They left one of their
own, Sinon, behind to tell the Trojans that is was a gift to
Poseidon to ensure their safe passage home. The Trojans
take the horse into their city in hopes of gaining the favor of
Poseidon.
The Trojans threw a
grand party. After the
Trojans had gone to
sleep, the Achaeans
slipped out of the
horse and opened the
gates of Troy to the
rest of their army.
Timeline

18. Poseidon – god of the seas
Timeline
Poseidon is one of the gods who takes
human form and fights alongside the
Achaeans during the Trojan War.
Poseidon battles against the Trojans
because when Troy was founded the
first king, Laomedon, promised to
reward the god for building the city’s
wall. Laomedon refused to pay after the
walls were complete and Poseidon
carried a grudge.
Poseidon’s priest, Laocoon, realizes that
the Trojan Horse is dangerous and so
Poseidon sends massive sea-snakes to
carry off Laocoon and his sons.

19. Hera – queen of the gods
Even before the Judgment of
Paris, Hera hated the Trojans. Her
hatred stemmed from Zeus’ choice
of the Trojan boy Ganymede as his
cup-bearer, casting aside Hera’s
own divine son, Hephaestus.
Hera fights for the Achaeans
during the Trojan War.
After Troy is destroyed, Hera
continues her quest to annihilate
the Trojans by attempting to
shipwreck Aeneas.
Timeline
Hera, unknown, Capitoline Museum
20. Athena – goddess of wisdom
Athena fights on the side of the
Achaeans during the Trojan War
for two reasons: She did not
win the golden apple at the
Judgment of Paris and she is
the patron goddess of the
Achaean hero Odysseus. As the
goddess of wisdom, Athena
appreciates Odysseus’ crafty
approach to problems and his
unique solutions such as the
Oath of Tyndareus and the
Trojan Horse.
Timeline Athena, unknown, Capitoline Museum
21. Ares – god of war
Ares is a rash and
unpredictable god, who enjoys
war for the sake of war. He
fights for the Trojans during
the war because he is in love
with Aphrodite and he
appreciates that Paris could
cause a war so wide-spread.
