64.16294 A Comparison of the Three Hero Archetypes in the Works of Homer and Virgil
This paper will seek to show three similar hero archetypes in Odysseus and the Iliad by Homer, within the scope of the Aeneas by Virgil. By showing the sea traveler, the national hero guided by the Gods, and heroic stature, we can assemble these similarities within these tales. By understanding these values in the stories, it's altogether clear that Homer influenced Virgil in his style of the hero archetype.

66.16352 The Theme of Temptation in the Odyssey by Homer
This paper will show the theme of temptation in the Odyssey by Homer. By understanding the various encounters with Calypso and Circe, Odysseus has a trait of infidelity, which he cannot seem to stop. This gets him into a great deal of trouble, but he finally learns to adhere to fidelity, as he can tie himself to the mast when seeing the Sirens. In this manner, much of the delay in getting home, revolves around Odysseus and his weakness of temptation.

67.16364 Oedipus Rex Pastiche from Line 105
This paper will seek to show a pastiche, revealing how a fabricated charcterization of the coming doom to Oedipus can be interleaved after line 105 of the First Act. By understanding how this pastiche will pay homage to the style of Sophocles, we can see Oedipus reacts to the singing chorus that tells the audience of his coming insanity. In this, the arrogance of Oedipus becomes enflamed, setting the chorus for the tragedy ahead.

68.16393 Homer's Representation and Meaning in the Iliad
Throughout history, the Iliad has been attributed to Homer. The name Homer has been attached to every work of existing writing from ancient Greece up to the age of Virgil. Homer was a writer of sacred verse. One major theory of development of the Iliad is that it is a written version of centuries of oral-tradition stories and songs. Homer, then, could quite likely be the name of the tradition (one created over centuries) itself of the telling and performing of the Iliad. Or, perhaps, Homer is the symbolic representation of audience expectations for the performance of the Iliad in part and in whole. There are no records of an individual Homer. The only record, then, is the Iliad itself. Within the Iliad, we encounter a society that survives in great part on its ability to destroy and take from other societies.
