1. On them, it not only condenses the excellent moral character required by the tribal collective, but also highlights everyone's personality characteristics. Achilles is brave and good at fighting, and every time he goes into battle, he makes the enemy look invincible. He cherished friendship, was heartbroken at the news of his friend's death, and went to the battlefield to avenge his friend.

2. He sympathized with the old man and promised the white-haired Pharaoh of Troy to return Hecktor's body. However, he was arrogant and willful, fell out with the commander-in-chief for a female prisoner and withdrew from the battle, which led to a fiasco of the Coalition forces. He is violent and fierce. To vent his anger, he tied Hecktor's body to a chariot and circled the city three times.

3. Hecktor, the commander-in-chief of Troy, is a more perfect image of an ancient hero. He took the lead, was mature and conscientious, and consciously shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending his homeland and tribal collectives. He pursues honor and is not afraid of strong enemies. At the critical juncture of the disparity between the enemy and ourselves, he was still fearless and went out of the city to meet the enemy and fought bravely.

He respects his parents, loves his wife and children, and bid farewell to his relatives before the decisive battle, which is full of strong human feelings and touching tragic colors.

Creation background

In ancient Greece, the most powerful Asian Greeks in the Eastern Mediterranean besieged Troy. The legend that this city fell into the hands of Asians is 1 184 BC.

But about a hundred years later, a group of invaders from northern Europe (usually called Duriss) plunged the whole Mediterranean world into chaos, and then forced those already very rich Asians to flee, and as refugees or immigrants, they took their living customs and their poems all the way eastward across the Aegean Sea.

Asians established a new tribe in Ionia, and then gradually integrated with the local residents until the originally stable city became a mixed product.

Old habits are gradually swallowed up by new civilization, and the social situation is relatively stable, but the glory is not as good as before. An aristocratic alliance, originally dominated by a grand marshal, has now become an aristocratic politics in which all nobles are equal. In short, the original monarchy has given way to the new aristocracy.
