One of the nice touches to the Iliad is that how petty and flawed the Gods turn out to be - it emphasies the heroic behaviours of the mortals. That's why I have a herd time reading the Illiad; the gods and the heroes are so petty. Who wants to read about pettiness, especially in the gods? I want the gods to be perfect in their various aspects, and that rules out pettiness. After all we live in a perfect world so the people who run it should be perfect. Assuming that the Greek gods are true, which is the only way I like to approach them, how can we model ourselves on the ideal (failing as we do, but capable of trying again), if they don't embody the ideal? |
