Presentation transcript:

In a brief paragraph, please list all that you learned about Homer, the Trojan War, and Homer’s The Odyssey.

I will learn the historical context surrounding Homer’s The Odyssey by reading summaries of the Trojan War and presenting information from those summaries to the class.

“In Media Res” “In Media Res” = “In the Middle of Things” The Illiad By Homer Epic poem describing the events of the Trojan War Written before The Odyssey Many causes of the events presented in The Odyssey begin during this war The Odyssey By Homer Epic poem describing the perilous travels of Odysseus, King of Ithaca after the end of Trojan War Written after the Illiad Many events occur as a direct result of the Trojan War

Jigsaw Activity: The Trojan War Each group will receive ONE of four parts summarizing the main events of the Trojan War Each group must work together to read, identify main events, create a chart of the events, and present the information to the class If any one student or group does not do their part, the class will miss out on the needed information

The Trojan War The Trojan War Part One Eris sets the Apple of Discord amongst three goddesses as revenge Fighting amongst Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite begins The Bribery of Prince Paris Helen of Sparta, daughter of Zeus and most beautiful woman in the world Her step father makes all King suitors take an oath to support her husband in battle if their marriage is wronged Although promised to Paris by Aphrodite, Helen is married off to King Meneleus Aphrodite takes Paris to Sparta and makes Helen fall in love with him

The Trojan War The Trojan War Part Two The oath is set into effect and hundreds of ships set sail for Troy The Trojan army is led by Prince Hector. Achilles is the star solider of the opposing army, they are destined to meet on the battlefield The Gods begin feuding due to the war Achilles loans his friend Patrocolus his armor. Patrocolus is killed by Hector who thinks he is fighting Achilles Achilles swears revenge on Hector

The Trojan War The Trojan War Part Three Achilles seeks out Hector on the battlefield He kills Hector in battle and drags his body back to the Greek encampment refusing to release to the Trojan King for burial rites King Priam rides to the camp with a chariot full of treasure to buy back his son’s body Achilles’ attitude changes after Pratrocolus’ funeral and he agrees to return Hector’s body

The Trojan War The Trojan War Part Four The Trojan War rages on for ten years Achilles is killed in battle and the idiom “Achilles’ Heel” is born The only way the Greeks can win now is to develop a plan = King Odysseus develops the Trojan Horse The city of Troy is burned and conquered by deceit and treachery
