The Iliad Book 1 - Illustrated Summary

If I messed up pronouncing Chryses and Chryseis I am so sorry, but why would you name your daughter the same as you with one letter difference - in this essay i will...

I worked with the Iliad translation by E. V. Rieu

Music used:

I love how you specified that they werent doing this all because they loved the woman they did it because of what they represented prizes and how the woman deserved so much better (Amazing video)

I hope when you get around to book 2 you cover my man Thersites. He so often gets left out of the narrative and it’s a shame.

It's depressing, though sadly realistic, that so many female characters appearing in the Trojan war end up as unwilling concubines (or sex slaves, to put it less nicely), usually after the rest of their families has been slaughtered. Other than Chryseis and Briseis, one could also mention Tecmessa (concubine of Ajax), as well as Andromache and Cassandra. Of course, some female characters fare even worse, such as Iphigenia or Polyxena.
