Iliad Week 4: Introduction (Book 4)

Book Four deals mostly with the reactions to the duel in Olympus amongst the gods. Zeus and Hera make a deal that will have far-reaching consequences, and Hera and Athena break the truce that was made between the Greeks and the Trojans.  


Questions to think about

-Why does Homer wait until now to introduce the main conflict behind the Trojan War?
-How does the side the gods choose reflect their involvement in the Judgment of Paris?
