The Role of the Gods in the Iliad
In the era of Homer, divine intervention was thought to be typical, and one of his foremost works, The Iliad, reflects this. Nearly all of the Greek gods are involved in the outcome of the Trojan War, which happens to be the background story of this epic poem. The gods are used by Homer to add twists on an otherwise standard plot of war. Evidently, the gods will be a powerful source of divine intervention and their actions certainly have significant outcomes on the Trojan War, and more importantly, the story of The Iliad. Zeus, very untypical of a Greek god in his lack of involvement in the Trojan War for selfish reasons, was portrayed as the father figure

In Homer’s The Odyssey, the author tells us of a magnificent story of lust, deceit, greed, and heroism. The Odyssey is a display of a journey of determination, willpower, patience, and virtue.

The Character of Achilles
The Iliad by Homer is an epic poem that tells us about the famous Trojan War. Throughout this poem, Homer presented every character with their specific characteristics such as the role they played in each other lives, their flaws, and strengths and emotions that they evoked at particular settings in the course of this tremendous story. Achilles, the great Greek Warrior and principal character of this epic all along said things, did things and made choices that essentially took the story to a different direction. However, the question that still remains is if any of those choices changed Achilles himself. An analysis of books one, nine, sixteen, eighteen and

in the hero’s journey, the hero meets adventure but might not yet recognize the challenges at hand. Joseph Campbell explains the hero must complete the idea to go from his known everyday life to adventure. The stage of crossing the first threshold represents an element of confusion. In the Odyssey, Odysseus’ first threshold is the Trojan War (Homer, Book 1). At the war, Homer makes it known that Odysseus is cunning and brave. Odysseus exhibits mental and physical attributes in this stage that exhibit his ability to be an actual hero. Crossing the first threshold is a key stage in the hero journey because it gives the readers a look at what must be done in order for Odysseus to prove himself

Assisted suicide is a widely argued ethical issue. A lot of the debate on this subject stems from either different viewpoints of when this act is appropriate, or what the resulting consequences would be if such an act were ever permissible. The point mostly debated between opposing sides is life-worth. What constitutes a life worth living and who is to ultimately decide this? The main problem with this question is that suffering cannot be measured unless one is to endure that same suffering themselves. The view that life is a special gift bestowed by God is held highly by many religions and it is of most importance to them when the debate

Capacity is the ability to pay back what you borrow. Lenders tend to look at the cash flow of someone before lending money out. They not only look at what you bring in but they also look at what you currently paying.
Capital is the cash value of assets. This is used to help lenders determine if you would be more likely to default on a loan. The lenders use debt to asset ratio as grounds for lending or denying an application.
