The document provides an overview of Homer's Iliad, including key details about the author, audience, context, and purpose. It discusses whether Homer glorifies war and provides contradictory depictions of war's costs. The gods play an important role in human affairs but are constrained by fate. Achilles struggles with his fate as a great warrior destined for an early death. The document also analyzes how George Lucas adapted the classic heroic pattern from Homer in creating the characters and mythology of Star Wars.
Homer's epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, provide some of the earliest conceptions of death and the afterlife from ancient Greek culture. Through these works, Homer describes ideas that were inherited from oral traditions, including shadows in Hades, the soul departing the body at death, and the possibility of reincarnation. In the epics, Homer expands on these notions by introducing Hades as an actual place inhabited by ghosts, and suggesting some individuals like heroes may have a different existence after death. The works also establish early Greek beliefs about the importance of burial rites and provide some of the first depictions of the underworld and ideas about rewards or punishments that may await individuals after death.
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, and also the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homer’s works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The Iliad and Odyssey depict a warrior culture. All ancient cultures were warrior cultures out of necessity. War was a deadly business, if an ancient city-state lost a major war, often the men would be slain, and the women and children would be sold into slavery. Most of the slaves of the ancient world were either captured by pirates or enslaved during war.
Both ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were warrior cultures, the cultures of the nations of Israel and Judah in the Old Testament were warrior cultures, and all ancient and medieval cultures were warrior cultures until the rise of the modern nation-state. To properly interpret Greek Philosophy and History, the Western Philosophical tradition, and the Old Testament, we must realize that these ancient cultures were rooted in a warrior ethos.

The RAGE that made Achilles the most dreaded warrior of the Greeks, the rage that drove him to slay so many noble Trojan warriors, was also the rage which urged him to withdraw from battle, the rage he felt when the main King Agamemnon seized the beloved maiden Briseis from Achilles, Briseis, the Trojan maiden, the prize of war. Then, when Patroclus, his best friend wearing his armor, is killed in battle by the Trojan hero Hector, Achilles goes mad with rage, turning into a killing machine, avenging his friend’s death by killing Hector and many Trojans, even though his goddess mother Thetis revealed to him that if he returned to battle, he would die in battle, rather than live a long life in obscurity if he simply returned home.
The Iliad both glorifies the glory and honor the brave warrior earns on the battlefield while also exposing the meaningless and futility of war, with many touching family scenes of husbands and fathers whose fates are doomed. The Trojan War is doubly futile, the Greeks are fighting for the return of Helen of Troy, who was abducted from the Greek Menelaus by the Trojan Prince Paris, and Helen now despises Paris for the long war he was brought on his people.

In Irish mythology, a banshee is a female spirit who warns families of impending death through shrieks or keening. They are often described wearing red or green with long disheveled hair and can appear young or as frightful hags. References to banshees appear in modern works like Harry Potter. Seamus Finnigan's boggart takes the form of a banshee, reflecting his Irish heritage.
The document discusses several sources related to history and empires, including a book about empires throughout world history with a focus on Greece. It also discusses a movie called "The Day the Universe Changed" about the development of scientific knowledge and defense of truth. Another source discussed is a movie called "The Journey of Man" about human evolution and migration based on DNA evidence. It provides summaries of the content and themes of each source.
Greek heroes were characterized by having one immortal parent, being born into royalty, and experiencing unusual conceptions or births. They were often favored by the gods and the subject of prophecies. As youths, they displayed amazing feats of strength. As adults, they went on quests to defeat monsters, traveled to the underworld, married princesses, and died ignoble deaths despite their gifts, highlighting their humanity. Their flaws and deaths ensured their stories would be remembered for generations.
The document summarizes the Greek myth of Sisyphus and discusses Albert Camus' philosophical essay "The Myth of Sisyphus". According to the myth, Sisyphus is condemned in the underworld to eternally roll a boulder up a mountain, only for it to roll back down when he reaches the top. Camus uses Sisyphus as an example of the "absurd hero" who faces an absurd and meaningless fate with lucidity and defiance. The essay analyzes Camus' perspective that by imagining Sisyphus happy in his task, one can find meaning in life despite its inherent absurdity.
Mythology: How the World and Mankind were Createdmarina13171
The document summarizes Greek mythology around the creation of the world, gods, and mankind according to ancient Greek stories. It describes how Chaos led to the emergence of Earth, Heaven, and various primeval beings and gods. It then outlines the origins of mankind from Prometheus and Epimetheus, the five races of men created by the gods, and the creation of woman from Pandora. The document also summarizes the story of Zeus overthrowing Cronus and other challenges to his rule, as well as tales involving Prometheus and the great flood sent by Zeus.

It describes how Chaos led to the emergence of Earth, Heaven, and various primeval beings and gods. It then outlines the origins of mankind from Prometheus and Epimetheus, the five races of men created by the gods, and the creation of woman from Pandora. The document also summarizes the story of Zeus overthrowing Cronus and other challenges to his rule, as well as tales involving Prometheus and the great flood sent by Zeus.
This document provides background information on Euripides and his play Medea. It discusses Euripides' life, influence on Greek tragedy, and portrayal of women. It then analyzes themes and characters in Medea, including Medea's madness, alienation as a woman and foreigner, and who is to blame for the tragic events. The document examines expectations of Greek society and the legacy of Medea.
This document provides background information on Greek tragedy and discusses two plays: Oedipus the King by Sophocles and Antigone. It notes that Greek tragedy grew out of rituals for Dionysus and was intended to elicit extreme emotions and catharsis. The plays depicted individuals dealing with their fate and position in the universe. Oedipus believed he could overcome his fate but his hubris and denial of the past led to his downfall. In Antigone, Creon's hubris in rigidly enforcing his law over divine law results in the losses of his son and wife. The document examines themes of hubris, fate, and the tragic flaw in Greek tragedy.
Hesiod was a peasant farmer who lived in Greece in the 8th-6th centuries BCE during a time of social and economic transition. As the polis system developed and replaced feudal estates, bringing new legal codes and civil courts, Hesiod expressed anxiety over his place and livelihood in this changing world. In his works Theogony and Works and Days, Hesiod shares his views on the evolution of society, from the primordial gods to the "Ages of Men" to practical farming advice, all reflecting the challenges faced by small farmers like himself in this transitional period of ancient Greece.
The document provides context about Homer's Iliad, including that it was composed orally and reworked over centuries. It discusses how the Iliad reflected and helped define Greek society in Homer's Archaic Age. Specifically, it portrayed a society of powerful families/barons and helped establish ideas of Greek identity, history, and values like the heroic ideal, hubris, tragic flaw, and fate that shaped Greek thought.
The document discusses myths of creation from Genesis 1:1 to 22:24, Hesiod's Theogony, and the Sumerian creation epic Enuma Elish. It provides context on the textual history and goals of analyzing these works, including understanding mythopoeic elements and logic. Specific details are given on the order and elements of creation in Enuma Elish and how it relates conceptually to Genesis 1:1-2:3. The focus is on understanding what "creation" meant to the author of Enuma Elish through their emphasis on naming and family conflict. Context is also provided on when the different parts of Genesis were composed and codified in response to historical events.
The document outlines the path a case takes through the court system from trial courts to appellate courts. It begins at the trial court level, where the initial case is heard. If the losing party is dissatisfied with the ruling, they can appeal to an intermediate appellate court. This court reviews the trial court's decision for legal errors. Further appeals can be made to the state's high court or the U.S. Supreme Court. The document explains the different types of rulings appellate courts can make and the progression of cases through both state and federal court systems.
The document discusses the technique of case briefing, which involves deciphering and understanding court opinions. There are four parts to a case brief: (1) Style, which involves properly citing the case; (2) Facts, which provides details about the parties, lower court decisions, disputed law, and arguments; (3) Issue, which defines the central question in a question format; and (4) Holding, which answers the issue question and provides the court's reasoning. An example of a completed case brief is given for Brown v. Board of Education.
This document discusses the differences between the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. For juveniles aged 10-16 who are charged with a crime by petition, the process is mainly civil and focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Juveniles have the right to a detention hearing and can be detained if found to be a danger. Punishment for juveniles can include probation, placement in a juvenile detention facility, or determinate sentencing where a portion of the punishment is served in the adult system. [END SUMMARY]
Beyond a reasonable doubt is the highest standard of proof in the American legal system. It requires more evidence than any other standard but does not require 100% certainty. A jury must determine that there is no reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime based on the evidence presented. It does not mean proof beyond all doubt or that witness testimony must be without inconsistencies. Most people would conclude it snowed based on seeing the snow in the neighbor's yard beyond a reasonable doubt, without absolute proof but finding doubting explanations like a movie set unlikely.
