- We have discussed how scholars use the Iliad and the Odyssey as source material to
hypothesize about what life was like during the Late Dark Age (late
700's BCE). Using only the relationships of Zeus and Hera (Iliad, Bk 1), of Priam and Hecabe (Iliad, Bk 24), and of Hector and
Andromache (funeral speech in Iliad,
Bk 24) as your source material, "triangulate" what the parameters or
expectations of wives would have been during that time period.
- We have discussed how scholars use the Iliad and the Odyssey
as source material to hypothesize about what life was like during the
Late Dark Age (late 700's BCE). Using only the assembly scenes in
the Iliad, Bk 1 & Bk 2
and the assembly scene in the Odyssey, Bk 2 as your source material,
"triangulate" what the parameters or
expectations of an assembly meeting would have been during that time
period.
