Even though we talked about the differences between Achilles and Hector all the way back on Tuesday, I still would like to mention some things about these two men. It was clear that the narrator was all for Hector, simply because he portrayed him in a way better light than Achilles. If I were to choose the side of a man who is ready to die for his country and his family, or a man who's only gain from the war is possessions and when things don't go his way, cries to his mother... Well, It's not too hard of a decision who I would be more loyal to.
It's been years since I've read large bits of the Odyssey in my English class, but luckily I can remember the gods and goddesses and keep them all straight in my head! The Iliad is a very interesting read so far.
