What genre is the Illiad

English

Yuliya22 [10]3 years ago
7 0
The genres of the Iliad are: Epic Poetry, Tragedy and War Drama


This ain't just any old epic: it's the epic that made epics epic.
The Homeric poems (the Iliad and the Odyssey) are epic, because our concept of epic comes from Homeric poems. If that sounds too circular, then just bear in mind that the Iliad is an extremely long narrative poem, which deals with the heroic actions of mortals, gods, and demi-gods. For the Ancient Greeks, it was also important that an epic be written in the poetic meter of dactylic hexameter—which the Iliad is.

At the same time, however, the Iliad is also a tragedy, because it focuses on the downfall of a great hero (our boy Achilleus) as a result of his own flawed character. In this case, the problem is a three'fer: his super-excessive anger, pride, and grief.

Because most of the Iliad depicts battles in the Trojan War, it also falls into the category of War Drama. As such, it provides many important insights into the nature of war and its place in human life (and human death—hey-o!).

What is the relationship between Senator George W. Norris and the date of the inauguration?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: A: Norris wanted to change the date of the inauguration because he believed it was unfair.

Explanation:

Norris considered the long lame-duck period as unfair because it allowed outgoing congress members to sign laws despite a new administration having been elected.

Norris´ initiative was aimed to avoid the lame-duck Congress before the inauguration, not to empower it. The time for a new president to plan before the inauguration was already established before the amendment, and was actually considered too long for that historical time. The date of the inauguration was moved from March 4 to January 20, not to the day after the election, as that wouldn´t be enough even today.

When the narrator prepares his canoe for the trip to pick up Sheila and take her to the dance, he automatically puts his fishing
swat32

Did you forget to say that this question is about "The Bass, The River, and Sheila Mant"

Answer:

The narrator's automatic actions move the plot because they show that Sheila is no more important than her fishing habit. This can create conflicts that will move the story.

Explanation:  

Although the narrator had pledged to take Sheila Mant to the dance, he didn't think twice before starting fishing halfway. Even if the narrator does this automatically, he shows how the habit of fishing this intrinsic in him, so much that it puts Sheila in second place in his priorities, since the fishing can make him late, or even that the boat tip over and he can't take you to the ball.

This moves the plot because it can be the source of several internal and external conflicts.
