The confrontation Iliad, 1.68 tim and geras Hector and Andromach

Hector and Andromach Hectors scene with his wife Andromach and their infant son, Astyanax This scene, and other such domestic scenes, suggests that Homer was very sympathetic with the fate of Troy and its

warriors Embassy to Achilles Embassy to Achilles After things go badly for the Greeks,

Agamemnon repents and sends Ajax, Odysseus and Phoenix to Achilles to try to persuade him to come back He rejects their gifts and petition Embassy to Achilles

The Greeks are nearly defeated Achilles allows his friend Patrocles to go into battle in his armor Patrocles is killed by Hector The Death of Hector

The Death of Hector Achilles gets new armor His slaughter is so great that the river god Scamander takes after Achilles and nearly kills him

Eventually he kills Hector in single combat He abuses the body of Hector The Death of Hector But Achilles relents when Priam visits

him and lets him take his body back for burial The Iliad ends with a line about the burial of Hector This is the symbolic end of Achilless anger which started the epic

Homer, Inventor of Plot and Character Plot and Character The Iliad is a story about something

Achilless anger and ends when his anger is released Thus it has a plot and isnt just one darn thing after another His characters arent just action figures; they express their inner selves in action
