50 POINTS! ULYSSES!! How do The Iliad and “Ulysses” present the character of Ulysses and the advice he offers to others? How is he similar and different in the two texts? Use evidence from both texts to support your answer.

Explanation:

The existence of recognizable characterization attached to a particular figure frees the poet from the necessity of pure invention, carte blanche. A distinct character already invokes a particular ēthos for the hearer. We will consider theory in action in a moment, by reviewing the lineup of Homeric characters in a central moment from Iliad 4. The choice of this text is appropriate for a preliminary consideration of the methodology used throughout this book, since this Homeric narrative moment involves Agamemnon and a number of other leading heroes (cf. Minchin’s [2011a:331] rationale for choosing Iliad 23.). We will see there that Homer already has an idea of what each of his main characters is like from his tradition.
