Hippo is synonymous with a collective, and what you said is related to hippo epic. According to legend, hippopotamus may be a person, but the most reliable thing is that everyone basically accepts him as some literati at that time. This is related to the materials: Homer's Iliad (also translated as Iliad) and Odyssey (also translated as Odyssey) are two major epics in ancient Greece, which are said to be composed of. Homer's epic is an outstanding representative of ancient Greek literature, which has been regarded as a model of European narrative poetry for two thousand years. ? Experts who study Homer's epics generally believe that these two epics record the confluence of the legend of heroes about the Trojan War that has been circulating in ancient Greece for a long time. Homer's epic expresses the specific social and historical content in a mythical way. The original intention of the title of the Ilion is "the story of Ilion", which tells the story of the Greek siege of Troy. At that time, the Greeks called Troy "Illion". The cause of this war is explained in detail in the fairy tale "The Golden Apple of discord". According to this myth, the Trojan War was fought for a Greek woman named Helen. When peleus, the father of the hero Achilles, married the goddess thetis, he invited the gods to the wedding, but she did not invite the goddess Eris, and the goddess became very angry. She deliberately wanted to start a dispute. When the wedding was held, she threw a "golden apple" on the banquet table, which read "For the most beautiful goddess". On the spot, Hera, the goddess of wisdom Athena, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love, fought for the "golden apple". Later, Paris, the prince of Troy, presented the golden apple to Aphrodite, the god of love. In order to reward Paris, the goddess of love helped him kidnap Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, and the war between Troy and Greece lasted 10 years. "Ilion Ji" takes the battle 50 days before the end of the war as the main line, and Achilles' anger as the main line, describing the tragic struggle between the Greek Coalition forces and Trojans and their allies under the walls of wyndell dichinson and on the beach. In order to quell Apollo's anger, Agamemnon, commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, handed over his "bedmate" (daughter of Apollo priest), but brutally took away Achilles' war ceremony "Beautiful Briseis". Achilles was furious and decided not to fight, which led to the continuous defeat of Achaia (that is, Greeks) on the battlefield. Trojan soldiers arrived at the allied ships and tents, and commander hector attacked Patroclus, Achilles' good friend. Achilli uz was very angry. He went back to the battlefield and killed hector. Finally, according to God's will, he returned hershey's body to his father, the elderly Priam. The original name of Odysseus is The Battle of Odysseus, which tells the story of the return of the Greek hero Odysseus after the Trojan War. After the Greeks planned to capture Troy with Odysseus' Trojan horse, they returned to their hometown with the plundered slaves and treasures, while Odysseus, the king of Idaho, was in great trouble at sea on his way home. After many hardships, he finally returned to his hometown. When Odysseus went out to fight, his wife had been waiting for him at home for many years. Many young nobles on the island covet his property, live in his home, propose to his wife and squander his property. Odysseus pretended to be a beggar and went home to test his wife. Together with his son, he killed the suitor, brutally killed the unfaithful slave and became the king of Idaka again. The two epics are large in scale and rich in content. They describe the social life and people's mental outlook during the transition from clan society to slave society in Greece, and vividly describe the social form, ideas, religious activities, pastoral farming, sports competitions, family life, commodity exchange, customs and etiquette at that time. Homer's epic was an encyclopedia for the ancient Greeks, from which they learned knowledge and received education. Throughout the classical period, epic became the basis of Greek education and culture. Plato mentioned in the Republic that Homer educated the Greeks. Homer's epic is also called "heroic epic", mainly because it has created many heroic images and expressed the heroic ideal of that "heroic era" through these images. Epic shows the cultural values of individual standard in ancient Greece through the description of heroic images. Heroes in epics regard personal honor as their first life, and their behavioral motives are inseparable from personal honor, love, property and throne. Their "adventure" is often out of showing their courage, skills, wisdom and fitness, in order to get power, interests, love and honor. In their view, it is better to get great and short-lived happiness in brilliant adventures than to live a long life in obscurity. All these show the positive and optimistic humanistic thought of loving life, affirming and pursuing people's secular values, and show an important feature of Greek culture and even the whole western classical culture: attaching importance to the value of life to individuals and having a strong sense of individual standard. This cultural value concept has greatly promoted the development of western society, but Achilles-style laissez-faire and reckless individualism have also brought incurable social ills to western society. Through the description of the gods, the epic shows the philosophy and humanistic consciousness of ancient Greece. Homer's epic tells a story that happened four or five hundred years before the poet's life. At that time, people lived in a tribe ruled by the king and lived in a strong religious atmosphere. It is a world where god and man live together, and the relationship between god and man is far closer than that of later generations. According to Herodotus, Homer and later hesiod were the founders of ancient Greek theology. Homer describes a group of militant gods who are usually good at rhetoric and rarely preach morality. The god in Homer's epic is neither a universal bodhisattva, nor a moral model Christ, nor a god worshipped by mortals. The psychological motivation, thinking and action of the gods on Mount Olympus in Russia, as well as secular desires, have the characteristics of human community and follow the mode of human communication. In this sense, God is an immortal "mortal". In Illion, God's behavior is not bound by moral norms. Aphrodite once treated Helen savagely, but Apollo left hector at the critical moment when he needed help. In contrast, the friendly communication between Athena and Odysseus in Odessa represents a more harmonious relationship between man and god. Homer is not only a poet, but also a designer of large-scale literary works with excellent macro-control ability. Before Homer, epic did not form a grand scale; After Homer, poets confused the boundaries between literature and history. Aristotle believes that Homer is the only epic poet who tries to imitate the complete action without the limitation of history (or chronicle), so that his works avoid the straightforward narrative of running account and form an overall pattern with clear theme and prominent center. "Ilion Ji" revolves around Achilles' anger, and the whole poem is ups and downs, which is exciting to read. Although Odysseus adopts the combination form of "two-line development", the focus of the story is always explicitly or implicitly directed at Odysseus' return. Telemarcos' visit, God's intervention, the evil deeds of suitors, Penelope's state of mind and the activities of pig herders all have the nature of foil and bedding, and play the role of explanation, turning and traction. To understand the double-line action, the audience and readers need to connect the changing time and space with the ties of imagination, and appreciate the poet's ingenuity and the exquisite structure of his works from the persistent suspense caused by expectation. Aristotle greatly praised the thoughts of Hillion Collection and Ode to Xiu Collection, believing that they embodied the highest achievement of epic and were the models of epic.
