    The Greeks are recognized as an exceptional people. They are known as the noble greeks.

    The history of greek literature is divided into three periods: The first period covering the Pre-Homeric Age & Homeric Age
    extends from remote antiquity to the age of Herodotus (484B.C.) This includes the earliest poetry of Greece and the works
    of Homer. The second period includes the Athenian period to the Golden Age of Pericles, extends from the age of
    Herodotus to the death of Alexander the Great (323 B.C.). The third period, the Period of Decline, extends from the death
    of Alexander the Great to the enslavement of the Greeks ( A.D.1453.)

    After reading Grrek Literature, we can say that the following are its Qualities:
    1. Permanence & Universality
    2. Essentially full of Artistry
    3. Originality
    4. Diversity of Talent
    5. Intellectual Quality

    The Epics Of Homer


    - He was called the blind poet of Greece. Very little is known about him, but his transcendent genius is vividly
    impressed upon his works.
    - His two epics, the Illiad and the Odyssey, were learned by heart, and wherever a greek settled, he carried with
    him a love for Homer.
    - The Illiad & Odyssey depict the complete life of man in action. The Illiad shows us the passions and the cruelty
    found in war; the Odyssey shows us great adventures.
    - The Illiad is a story of Love and heroism.
    - The theme of the Illiad & Odyssey is the affirmation of the truth that man’s fate isnthe result of his actions. Ill fate
    results from ignorance and unguided and immoderate passions. The god’s give only what man asks for; his
    destiny is largely a matter of his own making.

    THE MYTHOLOGICAL BACKGROUND OF THE ILLIAD


    - Zeus the father of the gods, seemed to have realized that the earth was getting terribly overcrowded. To solve the
    problem, he devised a great war which would sweep the people of Greece. This was the Trojan War.
    - A minor goddess Thetis, was married to a mortal, Pleus. Out of this marriage, Achilles the greatest Greek warrior
    was born. Eris the goddess of mischief, was not invited to the marriage feast, so into the middle of the banquet
    hall she threw a golden apple with this note: To the fairest of the goddesses, each of the most beautiful
    goddesses namely- Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite- claimed the golden apple. A quarrel ensued Zeus was asked
    who was the most beautiful of the three. Zeus suggested the three to take their problem to Alexandros & ask him
    to decide. ( Hera promised him power; Athena [romised him wisdom; Aphrodite promised him that she would give
    him the most beautiful woman in the world fo his wife.
    - It happened that Helen the most beautiful woman in the world was already married to Menelaos, king of Sparta.
    Alexandros abducted Helen and took her to Troy where she remained until the end of the ensuing Trojan War.
    This is the reason why she is called Helen of Troy.
    - The Greeks banded together to restore Helen of Menelaos; Agamemnon, king of Mycenaea, was their
    general;Achilles the greatest and bravest of the Greek heroes; Odysseus the clevr and wily warrior; Diomedes,
    the bold one; nestor, the prudent old man; and Alas, the giant.

    THE STORY OF ILLIAD


    - The subject matter of the Illiad is the anger of Achilles and its consequences. The story opens with a violent
    quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles. Briseis, a concubine of Achilles, is unjustly taken by Agememnon and
    as a result Achilles makes a sacred vow that he would no longer fight. For the duration of the battles between
    Greeks & Trojans Achilles remained in his tent because of his absence the Trojans, led by prince Hector make
    bold advances in battle. Patroclos, the dear friend of Achilles saddened by the growing losses of his countrymen,
    begs Achilles to let him lead their men, the Myrmidons, to battle, because of his anger of Agamemnon, Achilles
    refuses to fight. Patroclos rallies the Greeks and succeeds in making the Trojans retreat, but he is killed by hector,
    the Trojan prince who is equal to Achilles angered by the death of his dear comrade he enters the fight,killing
    them mercilessly. he goes after Hector and slays him. With beastly cruelty, he ties the dead body of Hector to his
    chariot and drags it round the city of Troy.

    THE STORY OF THE ODYSSEY


    - The subject matter of the odyssey is the return of Odysseus, or Ulysses from the Trojan War. Because of the
    anger of the goddess Athena, he is made to wander in lands beyond the range of human knowledge. He finds
    Ithaca, his native land, invaded by insolent suitors who seek to kill his young son, Telemachus, and marry his
    wife, Penelope.
    - The poem begins at that point where the hero is considered farthest away from his home- in the island of Ogygia
    where the nymph Calypso, who was fallen in love with hm, has kept him imprisoned for seven years. Receiving a
    command from Zeus, Calypso releases Odysseus and he sails happily for home. But Poseidon the god of the sea
    persecutes him and because of unfavorable winds, he encounters many dangers and adventres are his encounter
    with Nausicaa, daughter of the king Phaeacia; the Cyclopes; one eyed giant Polyphemus; Circe, the enchantress;
    the sirens; the Lotus-eaters and his journey in the land of the dead.
    - King Alcinuos of Phaeacia helps Odysseus return to Ithaca where danger from the aggressive suitor of his wife
    threatens him. After overcoming and slaying suitors, Odysseus is reunited with Penelope, his faithful wife, who
    has waited for him with great loyalty, patience, and shrewdness in avoiding the advances of her treacherous and
    wicked suitor.
