HONR 1101 Chapter Notes -Hector
Document Summary
In my last notes i portrayed the relationship between the mortals and immortals as one of near codependence, where the gods need the people as much as the people need the gods. However, after reading books 11-14, i realize my conclusions might have been erroneous. It seems like the gods get involved only to achieve goals on olympus and care little about the fate of the people. His relationship with hektor is simply one of utility; zeus only helps hektor because he is the strongest. Trojan soldier, and his gain of power proves to be beneficial to zeus" cause. Trojans seem to be doing fairly well on the battlefield, zeus removes himself from the battle, demonstrating his level of detachment towards the whole issue.
