Iliad Socratic Seminar by JonesEnglish https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif Let's explore the Iliad with conversation! en-us 2017-12-14 12:42:03 UTC 2025-05-05 02:20:14 UTC hello@padlet.com #1. Achilles is a merciless warrior who slays many in battle and disrespects Hector by not honoring his last wishes and desecrating his body. However, he is loyal to the King of Greece and shows compassion in giving King Priam Hector’s body. Can we consider him a true “hero”? Why/ why not? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123878 2017-12-14 12:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123878 #2. Does reputation matter to us today as much as it mattered to the ancient Greeks? (Think about an example you can use to prove your point.) How can you tell? Why do you think this is? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123942 2017-12-14 12:44:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123942 #3. Often, the gods/goddesses interfered in human activities. Athena, Zeus, Apollo, and Hermes all play a role in The Iliad. Do you think this is right or not? Why? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123970 2017-12-14 12:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216123970 #4. Who cared more about his reputation—King Agamemnon, Achilles, or Hector? How can you tell? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124041 2017-12-14 12:44:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124041 #5. What is the role of women in The Iliad? Consider Hector’s wife, Queen Hecuba, Chryseis, Breseis, and Helen. What place do they serve in society? How are they viewed by men? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124114 2017-12-14 12:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124114 #6. Why might filial piety have been so strong in ancient Greece? Why was it important that sons especially honor their fathers and ancestors? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124160 2017-12-14 12:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124160 #7. Do you think that the Grecians won the fight with Troy “fairly”? Why/ why not? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124194 2017-12-14 12:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124194 #8. Why did Homer describe the gods as people—dishonest and disagreeable—instead of perfect beings? What purpose did this serve for the Greek people? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124227 2017-12-14 12:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124227 #9. Some might say that Achilles deserved his death. Do you think this is true? Why/ why not? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124267 2017-12-14 12:45:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124267 #10. Who is ultimately to blame for the Trojan War? Why do you think so? rjones73 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124296 2017-12-14 12:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216124296 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216125115 2017-12-14 12:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216125115 #7) Jonathan, https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134620 I think the Greeks won the war fairly. They used a smart tactic to get into the Trojan base with very low casualties. All is fair in war. The Trojans should have been smarter and noticed it was a trap.]]> 2017-12-14 13:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134620 Dylan shupe #1 I believe Achilles is not a hero. He has not committed any heroic deeds. Achilles is only fighting for the glory. After his fight with Hector he disrespected his death by dragging his body behind his horse. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134632 2017-12-14 13:24:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134632 Dylan Kizer https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134680 1. Yes, I think Achilles is a hero. He is very strong and brave. Even though he disrespected Hector's body, he will do anything for what he think is right.

He's a hero because he slayed Hector and he's not a hero because he slayed him. People will have different views on him.]]> 2017-12-14 13:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134731 Simone #10 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134770 I think that Athena is ultimately to blame for the whole Trojan War. She was the one that offered Helen as a prize for Paris if he did her bidding. She is the one that cheered on Achilles fighting an killing in the name if Greece to get Helen back from Troy. She's like the trickster in the story. Doing stuff that favors her and not anyone else. She ultimately got the people of Troy killed all for a golden apple.

Even if that means deceiving your opponent. The Grecians were smart in taking advantage of this situation. The Trojan horse is a perfect example of this. Go in enemy territory without anyone knowing and get the job done.]]> 2017-12-14 13:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134814 Alyssa https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134961 #1. Yes, I consider Achilles is a hero. In the text, it explains that Achilles shows compassion by giving Hector's body to King Priam. Achilles may not have respected Hector's wishes, but he was, after all, loyal to the King of Greece. Therefore, I believe that Achilles is a hero.]]> 2017-12-14 13:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134961 #6 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134990 Nyah; I think that the Grecians did not treat Troy fairly. The Grecians approached Troy with the use of the Trojan horse while Troy had finished celebrating. Troy was out of energy and from a movie that I saw they were all sleeping or relaxing. When the Grecians approached them it was very unfair they were not prepared.]]> 2017-12-14 13:25:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216134990 Isaac #1. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135003 No because he did not respect the dead. He also made King Priam pay for his sons body back. Although he is a hero in a  different way by helping his people win the war.]]> 2017-12-14 13:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135003 3. Josiah- I believe that gods and goddesses interfering with human life is right because without them, it would be pure chaos. When the gods interfered with the war, they saved thousands of lives in many different ways. They all tried their best and did an amazing job in tricking killers and slaying mass killers. The gods were very important back then and set the tone for the whole war. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135034 2017-12-14 13:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135034 Felicity#5 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135105
All the women's roles in the Iliad were used for there looks most of the time. Their society for Hectors wife, Hecuba, Chrysies, Breseis, and Helen they cleaned and made food.

They gave what looked like a piece offering and hid in it and killed everyone. That was not the correct way to do it. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135153 2017-12-14 13:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135153 jace #2 : Reputation in our day and age compared to in ancient Greece does not matter as much. In ancient Greece reputation was everything to people and affected how they acted in war and in everyday interactions. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135156 2017-12-14 13:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135156 #7 Thanasi; I believe that the Grecians did win fairly. They outsmarted their opponent and slit their throats while they slept. They avoided casualties by hiding in the horse saving more lives. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135161 2017-12-14 13:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135161 SaJada #2 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216135205 I think that reputation is still a big deal today.

He doesn't have a reason to fight. Everyone else is fighting for a loved one. Achilles is fighting for his honor which shows that he only cares about his rep.

In the Iliad he struggled with decision making because of how people might think about him after the fact. He chose to still go out and fight in battle although he Knew he would be slain in battle. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136274 2017-12-14 13:29:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136274 Simone #10 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136681 The role of women in The Iliad is one of submission. Chryseis and Breseis were spoils of war. Agamemnon saw them as nothing more than trophies. Helen was the willing prize for Paris. Queen Hecuba and Hector's Wife, Andromica, were reduced to the crying widow and the heartbroken mother. They weren't fleshed out like the men in the story. They were just static, flat background characters for the story to use for a couple of paragraphs then forget they existed at all. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136681 #2 deangelic, https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136711 Yes, reputation matters to us today because the way society is people have to make sure that they look good to everyone else. people in ancient Greece wanted to be perfect, and that's the same as people today. for instance celebrities make sure their appearance perfect. and in ancient Greece the gods and goddesses' always looked presentable.]]> 2017-12-14 13:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136711 #10) Jonathan, https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136760 Paris is the reason for the war. He stole Helan who was already married. After taking her the Spartans got the Greek's army to join them in taking over Troy to get his wife back. After Hector killed Helan's husband.

You start cussing on field other parents, coaches, teachers think you got bad attitude and bad reputation because you don't have enough class. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136986 2017-12-14 13:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216136986 #10 Christian https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216137118 I think Paris was at fault when it comes to the start of the war.

No, our reputation isn't important as much as it was in ancient Greece. In the ancient Greece, people would rather die than come back home a coward. For example, if I came home with a bad grade "my reputation" would be bad and I would be less respected. I think the people in ancient Greece wanted to be remembered forever, but today there is more competition with all of the humans on the world so many gave up.]]> 2017-12-14 13:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216137378 #9) Jonathan, https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216137618 Achilles did not deserve his death.

Josiah- Reputation today definitely matters, not as much as back then, but it still matters. Back then, people would die for their reputation but now people wont even do a silly prank to keep their reputation to impress someone special or a higher power.

If I were Achilles I would be more confident because nobody really thinks of shooting at someone ankles unless they knew that my ankles were invincible.

Because Achilles fought in battle when he knew he would die makes him a hero. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216140721 2017-12-14 13:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216140721 Simone # 2 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141113 I think your reputation stills matters as much as it does today as it did in yesteryears.  Like with doctors their reputation matters so much to them because it could cost them their jobs, They're very nervous to take on high-risk cases that could end in death of the patient. A lot of the times the patient will never get treatment until someone gives in out of pity. They will just pass the patient around all in the stakes of theirs and the hospital's reputation.]]> 2017-12-14 13:43:19 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141113 Isaac #2. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141781 Yes, reputation does matter to us today like it did to the Greeks. I can tell because the warriors wanted to go to war and earn glory, and not go home and be called a coward. I think this because no one wants to be called a coward.]]> 2017-12-14 13:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141781 4. Josiah- Hector was most dependent on his reputation. He knew that he was going to slaughtered by Achilles and he was basically immortal, but he still went to fight him. He was going to die in honor, and he knew about it. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141958 2017-12-14 13:45:21 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141958 #4 deangelic https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141970 Achilles had cared about his reputation more than anyone else. Only because before he was making his decision to fight hector. he thought if he did not fight he would be a coward but still live, and everyone would make fun of him. but if he did fight he knew he would die, but would have been a legend and went down in history.]]> 2017-12-14 13:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216141970 Dylan Shupe #9 Achilles did not deserve his death. He has lots of power and with that he needs to be prepared for his destiny. He has killed many and that is karma but, that is the destiny of the people he has slain. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142439 2017-12-14 13:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142439 SaJada #9 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142506 I agree with what other people are saying, I think he deserved to die. I think this because he killed someone and that is not right. If you kill someone you deserved to be killed.]]> 2017-12-14 13:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142506 Dylan Kizer https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142590 3. I think it was unfair for the gods/goddesses to interfere but I think it was right. They were making sure the prophecy pursued. on happening. For example, Athena helped Achilles kill Hector many times. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:46:39 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216142590 7.Josiah- I believe that the Grecians won fairly because when there is war, do whatever necessary to win. They made one of the smartest attack plans in history with the Trojan Horse and let everyone in to kill. It would only be unfair if it was one of the citizens of Troy who let them in. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143522 2017-12-14 13:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143522 Simone #4 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143598 I think the Grecians won the fight fairly. It's war, you have to be smarter than your enemies and quicker than them too. Always be one step ahead and that's what the Grecians did. The Trojan Horse was a brilliant militarist strategy against the Trojan. It caught them off guard and destroyed their enemy in one swift fight. It was smart and cunning and that's how you win a war.]]> 2017-12-14 13:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143598 #4 Christian https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143894 Achilles not only had the best reputation, but he depended on it the most. He was known as a brave and strong warrior that happened to be immortal. Even when he knew he was going to die in battle, he accepted this fate and went down in history as a legend.]]> 2017-12-14 13:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143894 felicity#4 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143947 Achilles is the one who I picked that cares about his reputation more. He would rather fight and die. Instead of being a coward and stay home and be nothing. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216143947 Dylan Shupe #2 Reputation mattered back then but not in this day in age. Nowadays the people do not care to be known. The people only care about there social status online and nothing in the real world. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144050 2017-12-14 13:50:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144050 #9 Nyah https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144396 I do not think Achilles deserved to die. I do not believe that anyone deserves to die. Sure, Achilles made some bad decisions but that was only because of his childhood and the events that made up his life. But, after his childhood he still did bad things and that is just life and the way that he was brought up sadly. He thought he was doing the right things when people thought otherwise.]]> 2017-12-14 13:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144396 -[RECTION VIDEO]- https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144431 Jonathan's Response to John's#1
I fully agree with your thought on how people will have different perspectives on if he is a hero or not. The Trojans think he was a villain but the Greeks thought he was a hero/bro. I think that is how it is in the real world like with President Trump.]]> 2017-12-14 13:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216144431 felicity#2 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146163
Yes because people today are always worried about what they wear or how they look. Also people wont do certain things because of their reaction or what people will think. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:55:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146163 REACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146267 John's reaction to Jonathans post.

He did not deserve his hero title because he was a terrible person. He was very immature and he did not like when things did not go his way.]]> 2017-12-14 13:55:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146275 Christian response to johns #3 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146330 I like how he gave detail about how the gods like to act towards the mortals. Its very true the gods can do whatever they want and its simply not fair. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146330 Dylan Shupe #10 Paris is to blame for the war. He was irresponsible and did not respect that Hellen was already married. Also, he went and forced his problems on his people rather than dealing with it on his own. https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146721 2017-12-14 13:57:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216146721 Simone to Jace #2 https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216147141 Though that is true about the Grecian times, it could also be said about our as well. Cause reputation do matter still. It matters in their career field, online, and in life. You're reputation determines who you hang out with and who will hang out with you, just like the Grecian times.]]> 2017-12-14 13:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rjones73/8bfp3yyr8nif/wish/216147141
