Book XXIV Of 'The Iliad'
[ send me this report ]
Honor is at stake and for honor men will die. This 5 page critical review of the classic story of the battle of Troy introduces the idea that there are three threads of interest in the Iliad. The first is the war between the Achaeans and Trojans. This is the setting and the motivation for action. The second is the code of Honor that prevails for both sides. The issues of courage, the sanctity of marriage and friendship and the honor given to those who live the code. The third is the subplot being lived out by the Gods and Goddesses. All of these elements serve to give the reader an understanding of the motives and behaviors that rule the souls of men. The paper examines the final chapter in relation to the development of these concepts. No additional sources cited.

Chaereas
[ send me this report ]
A 3 page essay that offers a character sketch of Chaereas, the young male protagonist of the ancient Greek saga "Chaereas and Callirhoe," which is a tale of love and adventure. The writer argues that this is also a tale that encompasses the Greek emphasis on the dangers of pride. Chaereas, a bold and beautiful young man, comes close to ruining his life due to his indulgence in pride and his failure to stop and think before acting. Therefore, an examination of how this ancient author portrayed Chaereas' character reveals a great deal about Greek cultural values. No additional sources cited.

Chaereas and Callirhoe/An Ephesian Tale
[ send me this report ]
A 3 page essay that compares and contrasts the ancient Greek narratives of Chaereas and Callirhoe and An Ephesian Tale. The writer argues that these stories express a similar perspective on the topic of love and the manner in which romantic love manifests itself in human society, that is, through the action of the god Eros. This similarity is evident from the beginning of each tale, in which the handsome male protagonist is shown, despite personal beauty and ability, to be at the mercy of the god and also to possess enormous pride, which serves as the rationale to justify the trials and tribulations that are encountered in the story. No bibliography is offered.

that over the nearly four hundred years between Homer and Aristophanes, the factor which most changed the gender perceptions of ancient Greece was a heightened awareness of the importance of ethics in human life. Bibliography lists
eight sources.

Character Analysis of Creon from Antigone
[ send me this report ]
A 6 page essay that discusses Sophocles’ characterization of Creon, which underscores the centrality of the issue of state versus religion to the thematic content of the play and illustrates how Creon is, like Antigone, a tragic figure, as he tries to be a diligent leader but succumbs to the fatal flaw of hubris (which is also spelled “hybris,” and refers to an inappropriate degree of self-pride). Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Cicero/The Republic and The Laws
[ send me this report ]
A 7 page book review that addresses Cicero's The Republic and The Laws. Cicero's The Republic can be viewed as the "culmination of pagan thinking" regarding political theory and, specifically, the organization of the Roman state (Powell x). Then, in its sequel, The Laws, Cicero expounds on the doctrine of Natural Law, setting out an ideal legal code for his vision of a reformed Roman Republic. Collectively, these two books, which have been combined into one text in the volume to be reviewed, present the philosophical culmination of Rome's greatest political philosopher and statesman. Examination of these texts reveals why the works of Cicero have been influential throughout history and remain relevant today. No additional sources cited.

Clytemnestra, the Reluctant Feminist
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page paper examining Clytemnestra's
eventual reaction to Agamemnon's womanizing and autocratic control. Homer portrays
Clytemnestra as being weak and insignificant, but Aeschylus portrays her as a strong woman who
ultimately has her fill of Agamemnon's domination and complete lack of regard for all women.
Agamemnon could have seen the warning signs had he chosen to acknowledge them, but his
hatred of women would not allow such acknowledgement. Several societal institutions failed
Clytemnestra, but she broke free of them and created her own. No sources listed.
