ANSWER 1 QUESTION ONLY.
1. The Greeks strongly believe in FATE or DESTINY, that is, nothing happens unless it is destined to be so. Does this mean that, in the Trojan War, the heroes' free and strong will to win is immaterial? Do you agree that the victories of the Trojans (in books 12 and 17) and the Greeks (in 13, 14, and 16) are all willed by the Gods? Explain your answer. Cite textual details.
2. For the Greeks, the Gods are personalities with human failings. This is clearly seen in the character of Zeus in books 11-17. Cite some events that show Zeus' weaknesses.
3. Patroclos is a noble comrade and warrior. Do you agree? Prove your answer by citing details from the book.
