Telemachos and Achilles Michael Daley, Jonah Auslander, Peyton Spilsbury, and Max Schuler
Target I can… Compare, Connect, and Contrast Achilles, the hero in The Iliad, and Telemachos, the hero in The Odyssey Would Achilles and Telemachos be modern heros?
The Call Telemachos- Athena comes to Telemachos Achilles- Helen gets captured, Agamemnon wants his assistance in Troy
Preparation Telemachos- food, talking to Nanny Achilles- Does not prepare until he’s at battle
Allies Telemachos- Athena, King Nestor, King Menelaos, Pisipertes, his crew Achilles- Athena, Greek Army,
Guardians of the Threshold Telemachos- The Suitors trying to stop him from leaving Achilles- Achilles’ mind
Crossing the Threshold Telemachos- Sailing to Sandy Pylos Achilles- He returns to battle after the death of Patroclus
Road of Trials Telemachos- Traveling to Pylos, Traveling to Sparta Achilles- Killing Trojan Soldiers, Chasing Hector, Fighting Hector
The Modern Hero Superman YES Puts himself first Helps the people out of sense of duty
Are They Modern Hero’s Achilles NO Selfish Personal problems before army Complains Telemachos Too early to tell
