jackthegreatest · Answer

ok, so what are some character traits exhibited by heroes on both sides (trojans and greeks) and what do they say about what their cultures value in a person?

zaraxx · Answer

this may take me a sec bc im going back and forth between answering multiple questions to sorry about that!!

zaraxx · Answer

both the greeks and the trojans were very violent, quick to fight people. Achilles was the most prominent hero of the war on the greek side and his rage was a huge feature of the war. hector (trojan) is probably the most noble of either sides. honor plays a key role in the cultures of both the greeks and the trojans, and it is apparent in the war as well. im trying to hit some broad ideas so we can brainstorm off them a bit, are these making sense so far?
