 Before Troy’s FallFriday, February 15, 2013 | 0Superstar (s)!
Aeneid and Iliad are two different stories but still
they have some parts the same. One of those is the time when the wife of the
heroes in each story pleaded them not to join the war and just take care of
their families.
In Aeneid, Creusa told Aeneas not to join the war and
just stay with her and their son. But Aeneas refused since he didn’t want to be
a useless man who did not fight for his homeland. He just let his family stay
in their house while he was still on battle. And after that, they reunited and
let them join in his journey to found Rome.
The scene in Iliad for Andromache and Hector is
almost the same as in Aeneid. Andromache foresaw Hector’s death so she pleaded
him not to continue on the battle. But as what was expected, Hector refused
because he wanted to be a hero of the Trojans even if it costs him his death.
Both scenes showed loyalty to their land. Those
heroes fought for the freedom of Troy with all their might. They prioritized
Troy as a whole than their personal lives. And in the case of the wives, all
they wanted was for their family to be intact. They were so concerned about
their husbands who may die in the battle. It showed how a mother and wife cares
for her own family.
The two stories expressed the same values. They don’t
differ that much. The heroes cared for their people and the wives cared for
their family.
