Achilles, for the win!


In my opinion, Achilles is a legend that should be respected. His character in the book Iliad represents pure arrogance. Even if he is considered to be one of the most famous characters in Greek mythology because of his fighting skills, he should have just remain calm and relaxed. Overall i can say that achilles proved to the readers of the Iliad that he is a man of courage and principle. He knows when to strike and when to back out. He is a warrior that is fierce and powerful.

Queen of the Gods


Hera is a fair goddess because she has been with Zeus ever since the very beginning. She is known for being the goddess of marriage. She experienced a lot of hardships already. She was raped by Zeus her brother, and betrayed. She honestly very loved zeus but she is often jealous of Zeus' women. She is fair as well because as the goddess of marriage, she wants other women to feel what she wants to feel from her husband. Meaning, she doesn't want other women to suffer like she did because she knows that the pain easily forgotten.
