Recently finished the Iliad but was surprised that it encompassed a specific part of the whole story(like the constrction of the Horse and the subsequent destruction of Troy) as well as the previous events that led to a Athen and Hera to swear vengance on Paris and his homeland. I know very little from contextual notes about events that are outside of the Iliad and i am aware that much of the other information is contradictory due to being mostly folkloreor differnt interpretations of myths. Where is a good placeto study these parts of the story in detail?
I will never understand why they continue to depict Aten with armor.That thing is just a plot device at most, not even a representation of anything in particular.Wisdom and love and war is only male domains.Anyway, carry on.
