  11. Key Concepts • Geras = a prize of honor, a particularly valuable token of distinction conferred on a warrior by his peers, e.g. Briseis is Achilles’ geras. • Tinê = honor, especially the external, see geras • Kleos = glory or fame; that which others say about one, particularly after one’s death. Kleos is what epic conveys upon its heroes.

  12. Judging a Warrior • What are his strengths, weaknesses? • How well does he measure up to the values of his warrior society? (What are those values?) • Where would you place him in comparison with his fellow warriors. Is this Homer’s ideal? How do you know?

  13. Using History to Tell a Moral Tale • What happens in the end? Do the events qualify for honor, glory, fame? • What is Homer trying to say? Look at his use of irony (Helen’s fate-does she deserve honor?) • Did the warriors’ values serve well Homer’s society?
