In the Iliad, Nagy says that Homer ‘elevates Achilles to the highest realms of humanity, of humanism.’ How does Homer do this? Choose one other character in the Iliad in the books that you’ve been assigned that you feel also reflects the ‘humanism’ that Nagy identifies in Achilles. Be specific and cite episodes from Johnston’s translation (e.g. Book 1:125-136) that support your argument. [N.B. quotations do not count towards 300-word requirement].
