Iliad Book VI

Abstract: The fighting becomes more intense. • The Greeks are doing better without the gods’ interference and become merciless. • The Trojans retreat. • Diomedes and Glaukos become friends. • Paris agrees to return to the fight. • Hector says goodbye to his wife. Hector is the 5th greatest hero in the Trojan War. The greatest of the Trojans.

Who is more brave Hector or Paris? Explain.
Why does Hector rebuke Paris?

What internal conflict does Hector face?
Where do we see that Hector willingly accepts his fate (Amor Fati)—the fate that Troy will lose ?

Why doesn’t Andromache want Hector to go back to the war? (2 reasons) What happened to her parents? How did Achilles exhibit noble behavior during the incident? What will happen to her and Astyanax if Hector is killed?
Why does Astyanax cry when he sees his father with his helmet on?.
How does Homer display a brilliant sense of objectivity in Book 6? What do you think of his portrayal of “the enemy”?

Questions for Iliad Book 5: (DOWNLOAD PDF: Iliad Packet Book 5)

  1. Abstract: Athena interferes on behalf of the Greeks. Diomedes wounds Aphrodite. Ares interferes on behalf of the Trojans. The gods remove themselves from the battle, and leave the mortals to fight alone.

    NOTES/QUESTIONS (Write all responses in your notebook!)

    1. Why does Athena grant Diomedes strength and daring? How does it work in reality?
    2. What happens when Athena takes the mist from Diomedes’ eyes?
    3. Why does Diomedes refuse Sthenelus’ suggestion to retreat?
    4. What is so special about Aeneas’ horses?
    5. Why is Diomedes unable to kill Aeneas with the gigantic rock?
    6. Why is Diomedes able to continue fighting even after being hit in the shoulder by Pandarus’ arrow?
    7. Which goddess does Diomedes wound? What flows in her veins? Why does bloodlessness mean deathlessness?
    8. Who is Aphrodite’s mother, and what does she do for her daughter?
    9. How do Hera and Athena respond to the wounding of Aphrodite? Why are they so cruel to her?
    10. What does Athena puts on before going to battle, and what about the costume is unique to the Olympians? How does the poet describe it? What is its purpose?
    11. Who likens herself to Stentor, and why? What does the English word ‘stentorian’ mean?
    12. Who pulls Sthenelus out of Diomedes’ chariot, and why? What is the result? Why would Sthenelus be the wrong one for this job?
    13. When Ares comes to Zeus to complain about being hurt by Diomedes, Zeus replies in a most unkind and unsympathetic way. Compare this speech to Agamemnon’s speech in book 1 to Achilles? How do you account for the similarity? (
