#4 “Discuss the plan of Zeus in the Iliad. Does the success which he grants to the Trojans within the poem contradict his overall purpose of allowing Troy to fall?”
Within the paper, I will dive into trying to understand Zeus’ thoughts and methodology behind his actions alongside what her or not his actions towards the Trojans contradict his true purpose of allowing Troy to fall.
My professor responded to the above with:
This sounds good. You’ll want to consider Troy’s overall destiny, the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles, and how the shape of the plot of the Iliad reflects the plan of Zeus as presented by Homer.
If whoever writes my paper for whatever reason does not want to focus on topic #4 and instead another topic, I am fine with that.
