• Prologue to the Odyssey (Book I, lines 1-8)
• Agamemnon versus the Priest of Apollo (Iliad, Book I, lines 1-120)
• The Catalogue of the Ships (Iliad II, lines 484-785)
| The Iliad is 'pathetic' because of the mainspring of the hero's action throughout is PASSION—wrath against Agamemnon, grief for Patroclus, and the fierce desire to avenge him. The Odyssey is 'ethic', because the CHARACTER of the patient and resourceful hero is displayed in action guided by reason.
—Aristotle (via R. C. Jebb) |
