Document Summary
Eloquence was for the aristocrats, it was for those in rule or people with good breeding. Heroic societies tend to be aristocratic by nature because everyone has their roles and statues, and it relies on the continuity of these roles. The film troy can help us understand homer in general. Homer gives people backgrounds then kills them off in a gruesome way. Even through the gory details it exemplifies the greek culture. An epic man glorify the hero but it endures their reality. Oral culture: it always adds and making everything very dramatic he was as big as the building and could throw boulders and reached the stars and was fast as a cheetah and etc. , aggressive rather analytic. Same thing over and over to make your point: conservative or traditionalist. Things that want to stay the same: close to the human lifeworld. World of direct experience, everything is close: agonistically toned.
