Friday's exam will be in the following format:
You will be given four passages from either "Diomedes Fights the Gods" or "Agamemnon's Day of Glory". You will be given a list of the formal elements that Homer uses throughout the Iliad.
Break down each passage into these formal elements and describe how they function.
For instance: Describe the epithets, metaphors, and aristeia in the scene where Agamemnon girds himself for battle. Show how the Trojans are portrayed. How does the metaphor relate to Homer's audience?
You will have to have your own copy of the text.
