cameto fightat Troy.Before unfoldingthis(花名册),impressive musterroll Homermakes aspecial,public appealto theMuses toensure hegets thefacts right:Tell menow,Muses,who haveyour homeson Olympus—for youare goddesses,cind ever-present,and knowall things,and wehearonly rumour:nor doweknowanythingThese linesreflect acentral claimof epicpoetry-that throughthe inspirationof theMuses,daughters ofMemory,it canpreserve一the knowledgeof peopleand the events of the pasta formidablepower in the non-1iterate,oral culturesin whichthe Iliadevolved.The Iliadwas composedaround750-2BC,but itsorigins lieat leastsome fivecenturies earlier,deep in the MycenaeanBronzeAge---the worldthe Iliadpoetically evokes.The Iliadis keenlyaware of its roleasthekeeper ofmemory,and credibilityis centralto itsstorytelling.The epicis awork offiction,and relatestheeventsofafew weeksin thetenth andfinal yearof theTrojan Warfought between Greeks and Trojans overbeautiful Helen,theGreekqueen whodeserted herhusband toelope with a Trojanprince.Its cast of characters includes notonlywarriors and their captivesand families,but theimmortal Olympian gods,who performmany supernaturalacts in the course of theireagerparticipation in the actionaround Troy.(专门地)The Iliadhas the reputation for being an exclusively male epic,weak onfemale characters,but tochoose onlyone(悔恨的)example——Homers delicatecharacterization ofHelen asa womandriven byreluctant remorsefulpassion isas hauntingly(萦绕心头地)credible asany AnnaKarenina.Longinus,a scholarin the1st CenturyAD wrotethat inrecording ashe doesthe woundingofthegods,their quarrels,vengeance,tears,imprisonment andall theirpassions Homerhas donehis bestto makethe menin the Iliad godsand godsmen.The scenebetweenAchilles andPriam displaysthis inversionand crystalliseswhat theIliad poetshad learnedin thecourseofthe epicsJourney.That thegodswe worshipmight notanswer,and onoccasion humanitymust riseto filltheir place.That gloryis closelyassociatedwithpainful(战败者)loss.That thevictor sharesthe humanityofthe most vulnerableofthe vanquished i;that thereis nosuch thingas purevictoryin war.、1The Iliadaboutthelegendary Trojan
