The document summarizes the mythology surrounding the Trojan War. It describes how the war began when Paris judged Aphrodite as the fairest goddess and was rewarded with Helen, who was already married. This led the Greeks to launch an attack on Troy to retrieve Helen. After many battles and strategies employed by heroes on both sides like Achilles, Odysseus, and Hector, the Greeks were finally able to defeat Troy by hiding soldiers inside a large wooden horse.The_Trojan_War (1).ppt

The Trojan War began around 1260 BC over control of a trade route but ancient mythology states it began when Paris chose Aphrodite and was given Helen, the beautiful wife of Menelaus, sparking the Greeks to unite and launch a campaign to retrieve her. After nearly 10 years of battle, the Greeks devised a plan to hide soldiers in a large wooden horse and sneak them into Troy, allowing them to open the gates and help the Greeks defeat the Trojans and end the long conflict.Odyssey Class Project

Today we reflect on a summary of the Iliad by Homer.
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, not to mention the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homers works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
Why is the RAGE of Achilles the first word of the saga? Why did Achilles choose to boycott the battles when his concubine Briseis was taken away from him?
How does the Iliad celebrate both the glory and the futility of war?
What role did concubines play both in ancient warfare and in ancient warrior cultures?
How similar were the warrior cultures of ancient Greece and the American Indians?

The Importance of Being EarnestPoornimaDevi20
油
Oscar Wilde's play "The Importance of Being Earnest" satirizes Victorian social values and norms. The play involves two friends, Jack and Algernon, who both pretend to have a brother named Ernest in order to court two women, Gwendolen and Cecily. Lady Bracknell disapproves of the matches due to the men's questionable backgrounds. Ultimately, it is revealed that Jack is in fact Lady Bracknell's nephew, resolving the conflicts and allowing the couples to marry. The minor characters like Miss Prism and Dr. Chasuble further comment on and critique Victorian society through their roles.Direct speech and Sndirect speech for Interrogative sentences
Direct speech and Sndirect speech for Interrogative sentencesPoornimaDevi20
油
This document discusses the rules for changing direct speech to indirect speech for interrogative sentences. It notes that commas and quotation marks are removed, "that" is not used, questions are changed to positive sentences, question marks are replaced, and "said"/"told" become "asked." There are two types of questions - "yes/no" questions use "if/whether" and change to positive form, while "wh" questions do not use "if/whether" and also change to positive form. Examples are provided to illustrate the rules.Recently uploaded (20)
