develop 2 full paragraphs in responses to each one of the ‘prompts’ listed below. The format is informal, you can use first person and your response is a ‘reading analysis’ not an essay. You do not need to ‘retell’ the story, I’ve read them. You need to discuss the topics in your own words.

Iliad:

• Why do you think that Homer began the epic poem with the quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles ?
• What led to the rage of Achilles? Why are the actions of Agamemnon an affront to Achilles?
• Egyptian Love Poetry:
• • Why do you think the poets utilize the imagery of nature, animals, geography, food, oils in the poems?
  • In what ways do the poets discuss love as an illness? How might you interpret the cure of ‘lovesickness’ ?
