Greek Epics XIV: Iliad Book 13, Featuring not One But Two Ajaxes!

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Epics, The Greeks

Little Ajax finally gets a chance to shine! Okay, Big Ajax does, too. This is a grisly book, but you’ll have to read it yourself in order to enjoy all of the descriptions.

Discussion Prompts
  1. Are the gods ruled by fate? Why or why not?
  2. Who is your favorite character at this point? Why?
  3. Hektor listens to Poulydamas except for when he doesn’t want to. He’s pissed at Paris except for when he’s not. What do you think about him and/or his actions?
  4. Are you still enjoying this book? Too grisly? Ready for something else to happen?

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
