Wewaii [24]3 years ago

Answer:

1. He saw an Eagle bearing a snake in its talon

2. Polydamas advised Hector to retreat by withdrawing the army

3. No, Hector did not listen

Explanation:

This question was taken from the literary work "The Iliad and the Odyssey", a poem by Homer.

This event happened while they were near the Grecian wall. The Grecians had run into hiding to take cover while Hector and his men had wanted to march forward but it was proving difficult. Upon Polydamas' counsel, the army ditched their chariots and were divided into five troops whic went forward on foot. After this, Polydamas saw the omen of an Eagle clutching a wounded serpent in its talon and the serpent bit the Eagle forcing the Eagle to release the serpent from its grip. Polydamas interpreted this to mean that the Trojan assault would fail and Hector's army defeated. Upon seeing this, he would advise that Hector retreat his army from mounting the pre-planned assault. Hector was defiant, rather than retreat, he urged the army on saying, “Fight for your country—that is the best, the only omen!”. With this Hector drove the Trojans forward

How does the fact that the poem was written by a person of color give it a special piognancy?
olchik [2.2K]

Hello. You did not inform the poem to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

One of the most significant things when a black poet writes a poem, is that poet's ability to present a relevant literary work, which black artists were banned for many years ago. This becomes even more significant when these poets write about the problems of racism and social intolerance that blacks suffer from. This is because, the poet has property to talk about these subjects, since he goes through these problems and knows them in depth.
