Document Summary
3 is real examples of trials (cid:41804) homer. Iliad: achilles lends his armour to petropolis while achilles is on strike, petropolis dies. Achilles feels blame for the death of petropolis and ends his strike of no combat, yet he now has no armour. Because of this, an immortal shield and armour set is made for him. His shield depicts in art the entire universe, a flat disk with a city of war and a city at peace. The shield in an ideal way replicates the conflict; the city of peace has a dispute where it is resolved without any conflict while the city of war has disastrous repercussions for the conflict. Odyssey: homecoming of odysseus; he blinds the son of poseidon and while it is the fate of odysseus to return home, poseidon (god of sea) makes it incredibly difficult to do so.
