Achilles kills hektor, and then proceeds to tie his body to his carriage and drag it around. Priam asks for hektor"s body back, as it is his son. Plot: the struggles of the greek hero odysseus to return home from troy and regain his position as king of ithaca. The odyssey speaks of only a few days directly, but covers a wide spread of adventures through flashbacks. When odysseus arrives in troy he killed the suitors that had occupied his palace. These suitors had wanted to marry the queen, penelope. They had a contest to see who would get penelope and the palace, and odysseus had won. Wealth and power in the hands of regional kings. There are still not any greek settlements, as it is still the mycenean period. Their swords and spearheads are made out of bronze. Some of the trojans" names are actually asiatic. Heinrich schliemann (1822- 1890); wife: sophia schliemann.
