Book II and III Reading Presentation Questions for April 8


Book II: Write a paragraph discussing how Agamemnon's speech in which he tells the Greek warriors to cut and run backfired. Discuss what was his intention, what happened, and why that happened.

Book III: Homer tells us that Paris was hated by the Trojans. Why was he hated? If he was indeed the cause of all their troubles, why were they fighting a war for him? (How would Homer have answered these questions?) Do you think this system of values is peculiar (or particularly well adapted) to a world of small city-states?
