Additional Info
  1. Revise the qualities of a Homeric hero:
    • OneNote: Themes: Heroes: 
      • Review the chart that you compiled.
      • Re-read the notes that you made from Richard Jenkyn's MASSOLIT video.
    • OneNote: Scholarship: Text Book: Text Book 1.2:
      • Re-read the notes on Homeric heroes (pages 25-31).
  2. Review the qualities of Odysseus:
    • OneNote: Books: Book 19:
      • Complete the characterisation table on Odysseus.
  3. Review the qualities of Agamemnon:
    • Create your own table charting the character of Agamemnon in the Books of the 'Iliad' that we have read. Use the same three columns: Reference/ Portrayal/ Does he behave like a Homeric hero?
This research will enable you to lay the groundwork for a 20-mark essay that I will be setting soon: How far is Odysseus more of a Homeric hero than Agamemnon? You may like to have this question in mind whilst completing the work.
