2/28 Iliad Assignment

Write a question you have about the text, either an interpretive question that you have an opinion on, or something that you don't understand. You don't need to write the answer.

My question is: Why did Achilles travel all the way to Troy to fight and not?



What was your opinion of Achilles before reading Book 9? Does it change after reading Book 9? Explain why or why not.
My opinion of Achilles hasnt really changed since book 1. I still jsut dont understand why Achilles would come to Troy and not fight. I am happy that he wasnt stupid and didnt take the prizes that Agamemnon was offering him. But i wish he would fight. Not with Agamemnon but with his soliders.
