Document Summary
Lecture 15, the iliad books 14, 15, 16. The arming of paris: he"s transitioning from sexy lover, to vicious ghter, we always start from the bottom with the grieves, and always nish with the helmet, in the process of getting ready to be a warrior. The armour itself is important because its something of value: you get if from your father or grandfather, or you strip it from someone as a prize. We have a blurred line between people and objects in this poem. Typically what you do with the amour you get from your enemy is you display it either in your house or in a temple: you would dedicate it to a god like athena. The arming of hera: hera is getting ready to go into war, she straps on her weapons of seduction, and puts on her precious robes.
