THE ILIAD (CRITIC PAPER)

Depending on the genres we enjoy, we read a variety of novels every day, including
the ones that were discussed in class. The Iliad, written by Homer and set during the
mythical war between Troy and the Greeks known as the Trojan War, is one of those
books. This work of Homer dates to the late eighth or early seventh century BC. In
order to preserve a historical record of the Greeks and Trojans during the Bronze Age,
the Iliad was written. The fundamental themes of Homer's The Iliad, which then make
Achilles the protagonist of the tale, are love and friendship, fate and free will, and
honor, according to sources.
Indeed, Homer's Iliad had a significant influence on modern history. Herodotus, a
historian from the fifth century, claimed that Homer and the poet Hesiod were
responsible for "describing the gods for the Greeks" and "giving them human traits
which molded the Olympian gods we recognize today." Since I learned that the
Olympian gods also had disagreements with one another, my perspective on the world
has changed. Some gods make the moral decision, while others don't. One instance is
the Trojan War, in which Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Hermes, and Hephaestus supported
the Greeks while Apollo, Artemis, Ares, and Aphrodite supported the Trojans. People
then had a choice between the good side and the evil side, which divided opinions. In
the present time, we now know what is right and wrong thanks to our history. Our
attitudes and perspectives about it also evolved. Those may be identifiable based on
our choices. Because we now have the initiative to deliberate before acting, we
occasionally pause before doing a certain action in order to avoid miscommunication
and better understand one another. The Iliad has survived to this day thanks in large
part to Homer's efforts to preserve it, which is truly one extraordinary thing to do. The
Iliad has been the subject of dramas, movies, and classroom discussions. I applaud the
Iliad for providing readers with a variety of perspectives on our history, It allows
readers the freedom to use their imaginations and beliefs to the fullest.

One of the most intriguing books I've read is The Iliad, which was written by
Homer. The Iliad did not fail to provide me with the enthusiasm that I am seeking for.
As a fan of mythology, it always makes me smile with excitement whenever I watch
movies, hear stories, or read books involving mythology. Despite the fact that I don't
read many books, this one is by far my all-time favorite. I'd say my enjoyment of the
Iliad was comparable to my enjoyment of my favorite video games. In conclusion,
even though it is a fictional story, Homer's Iliad captures the love, aspirations,
kindness, evil, unity, betrayal, and wits of the society or the people. I can say that I
would be eager to read another book similar to this one because it has a lot to offer
society, including the next generation. They learn what greed can do to people, what
love can do to people, and what goodness love can instill in people's hearts. I would
advise anyone who is lost and unsure of what to do to read this paragraph.
