3/2 Iliad Assignment

DUE Friday 3/2 Iliad Assignment
Book 16 - Read pp. 434-441 lines 800 - end

Remember we are skiping the middle half, but you can read it if you like. It gives details of the battle and chronicles the accomplishments of Patroclus as he saves the Greek ships and leads the Greeks to the walls of Troy.
Simply summarize the main points and ask questions.
Period 4 - How do you think Achilles will respond? Predict what's going to happen next.

Main Points:
- Hector kills Patroclus with the help of Apollo.
- Before dieing Patroclus tells Hector that will kill him in the near future to seek revenge.
(Hector brushes these words off his shoulders and basically laughs in the face of danger)

No questions really because the text was pretty clear and i have already seen the movie "Troy" and know the main parts of the text, which were also clarrified by classmates while reading.

I think that Achilles is going to come back into the war because he had a very strong love for Patroclus and now he is dead, and he now will be pushed over the egde.
Also that what him mother told him, that he would not be returning from the war, is true and will happen in the reading sometime soon.
