Can we view the behavior of Agamemnon or Achilles as appropriate for heroes? How does the characterization of Hector help define
laiz [17]

Answer:

Agamemnon was the King, who was born to rule, but he didn't have the capability to do so. While Achilles was the king, who had the ability to rule, but couldn't utilize it properly. Both had a bad temper and were always trying to portray themselves as the heroes for Greeks. Neither of them was ever willing to compromise, or accept a status lower that that of a hero. This was the main reason behind their dispute of Briseis, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of soldiers on both sides. They were never appropriate to be declared as heroes.

For early Greeks, courage and strength of a person, along with his honesty towards his people, contributed majorly towards that person's rank in people's eye. Hector at that time, was the commander of Trojan Army and was considered as the future King of Troy. No one had a match for his valor and bravery. Apart from that, his sense of responsibility and concern for Trojan women and the community also made him a hero in the eyes of his people.

why didn't the USSR respond with force to the East German and Polish revolts, as they had back in the 50s and 60s? ​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Eric Hobsbawm, the Marxist British historian, wrote a book called The Short Twentieth Century. The 20th Century had been shorter than other centuries because it had begun in 1914 with the outbreak of the First World War and terminated of course early in November 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. The problem however, and of course we historians we like problems, is that everybody knew what we had left behind with the fall of the wall, but nobody knew what we were heading towards. As Douglas Hurd, the British Foreign Secretary at the time, put it, “this was a system [the Cold War], this was a system under which we had lived quite happily for 40 years.” Or as Adam Michnik, again my Polish solidarity intellectual, put it “The worst thing about communism is what comes afterwards.” While our populations were in jubilation in front of the television screens or on the streets of Berlin, governments were, it has to be said, seriously worried about the implications of this unforeseen, uncontrolled and uncontrollable collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the communist system. Tom Wolf, the American author, at the time had a bestseller called the Bonfire of the Vanities and a British MP that I knew at the time famously rephrased that as the ‘bonfire of the certainties.’ All of the reference points with which we’d lived for half a century and which had organized our diplomacy, our military strategy, our ideology, were like as many props that were suddenly pulled from us.

He quickly grew it into a superpower
