Read the passage below from Book I of The Iliad and answer the following questions. . This pierced Achilles to the heart; and he was of two minds, whether he should draw sword from thigh, to push through the crowd and strike down King Agamemnon, or whether he should calm his temper and keep himself in check. As these thoughts went through his mind, and he began to draw the great sword from the sheath, Athena came down from heaven: Queen Hera sent her, loving and anxious at once. She stood behind him, and held him back by his long red hair. No other man saw her, but Achilles alone. Achilles turned round startled--at once he knew Pallas Athena. His eyes flashed wildly and he spoke words that winged like arrows to the mark:

“Why have you come again, daughter of Zeus Invincible? To see the insult of my lord King Agamemnon? I’ll tell you what, and I will do it too: his own highhandedness one day may be his death!”

henry david thoreau and ralph warren emerson earned the name transcendentalists.you could assume that transcendentalists come from a well educated background from people that were alive before the american civil war.these people, mostly new englanders, mostly around boston, were attempting to create a uniquely american body of literature. it was already decades since the americans had won independence from england. and so they deliberately went about creating literature, essays, novels, philosophy, poetry, and other writing that were clearly different from anything from england, france, germany, or any other european nation.another way to look at the transcendentalists is to see them as a generation of people struggling to define spirituality and religion in a way that took into account the new understandings their age made available.
