Hektor frightens Astyanax, Achilleus plays the lyre

2010-09-08
Again a somewhat delayed attack on Books 6 and 9 of the Iliad.  Syncretism and varieties of divine power considered.  Foreshadowing of the deaths of Patroklos and Hektor.  Beginning of discussion of Homeric epithets.  Set-ups of the climactic scenes: Honor vs. spoliation of the dead.  Hospitality to ambassadors.
