Document Summary

It was important to worship the gods according to habits. The main concern was to not weaken the religion of their fathers and to not introduce unwanted innovations. Ancient greek civilization was a very competitive civilization. It was decided that no greek was allowed to have any lavish funerals that displayed extreme wealth. People who were honoured received: material gifts, honour or public acclaim, reciprocated awards. Because the warriors were very brave they received honour in their cities- they received the best wine, etc. Phoinix tried to persuade akhilleus to return to the combat by telling him how respected he will be, even if he goes back defeated. Achilles was hit in the foot by an arrow, and because his foot was the only weak part of his body, he died during the war against the trojans. Aias (ajax) brought the corpse of achilles back to the greek.
