Characters of the Trojan War…You and a small group need to create a “web” of the following characters
from the Trojan War: Each character should be strategically placed on the page with the ways they are linked to others clearly shown and displayed.
• Zeus• Hera• Athena• Aphrodite• Persephone• Thetis• Eris• Apollo• Ares• Hephaestus
• Paris• Hector• Priam• Hecuba• Andromache• Cassandra• Antenor• Polyxena• Laocoon
• Helen• Agamemnon• Iphigenia• Menelaus• Achilles• Odysseus• Protesilaus• Palamedes • Nauplius• Nestor• Ajax• Patroclus• Diomedes• Chryseis• Briseis• Calchas• Sinon
Process…
To create the characters poster you need to first gather information on the various characters.
Select 20 characters to tell the story. Arrange characters on the poster in a symbolic
way. (Since it is a war perhaps a line of battle would make sense or perhaps central characters in the middle and successive rings for lesser characters.)
Place characters and provide their relationships with arrows and descriptions.
Provide an epithet and symbol for each of the top 10 important character.
Epithets…
Epithets were a big part of Greek Literature, especially the most famous examples, the Homeric Epics.
Def: a descriptive adjective or phrase that is repeatedly used with—or in place of—a noun or proper name.
Modern Example: “The man of steel”—Superman “The Dark Knight”—Batman
Greek Example: “Wine dark sea”—The Odyssey
Examples from the PastEach of these look good though some info could be improved.
