Speaking as a teacher of ninth graders in an area of the country more a Bible girdle than a Bible Belt, there are parents who would march on my house with pitchforks and torches and probably tar and feathers if I went there while teaching their kids The Iliad.

I find it hilarious that all the comments are either thanking Course Hero for helping with thier homework, correcting a small mistake about who Helen was married to, and debating wether or not Achilles was gay

Patroclus and Achilles were friends. Everyone needs to stop obsessing over the idea that they were lovers and just enjoy the epic. There’s never mention of romantic love between them nor does the story ever claim them to be in a relationship. Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept of a passionate friendship? I only call the people I’d do anything for my friends, I love my friends with all my heart.
If you count the authenticity of the Homers Iliad to be good. Written 1100 years after the original. Then how about he bible/New Testament ? Written less than 60 years after the crucified Christ!
The greeks were fans of bleaching their hair (its kind of a gross process tho lol) and Achilles is referred to as blonde...like a lot, its a core trait that is associated with him. As for everyone being blonde, no idea whatcha talking about most people in the cartoons had shades of brown hair and there was like one women who was a redhead.
Thanks! But gods aren’t alive, they are mere statues and idols. There is one true God and that is the God of Abraham, and the maker of things made. And it’s BC (Before Christ) not BCE😁.

You should read mahabharata from India. It is greatest epic of humanity.

Greatest according to who lol I’m pretty sure Greek mythology is famous throughout the world, the mahabharata’s popularity is limited to South Asia
What a shocker! The indian thinks their culture is the greastest to have graced the earth!

The Iliad is basically about Achilles.
