A, Homer got rid of the limitation of history and tried to imitate the complete action, so that his works avoided the straightforward narrative of running account and formed an overall pattern with distinct themes and prominent centers. B, both epics are related to what happened in 10, but both epics adopt the method of concentrated summary and concentrated drama, focusing the story on a character, an event and a certain time, thus condensing many characters, complex plots and rich life pictures into a rigorous whole. ("Hiriart" focuses the 10 war on the last 5 1 day, highlighting the key 20 days in 5 1 day, and the focus of these 20 days is 4 days. In the plot, it revolves around two anger of Achilles. ) ? 2.

Symbol. ) ? Second, the image analysis of Achilles? ? Third, the development and change of ancient Greek tragedy? ? In the crown of ancient Greek literature, tragedy is undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl.

However, most of his works were lost before the end of the Middle Ages. To explore the development and changes of ancient Greek tragedies, we can only analyze them from 33 handed down works by Aeschylus, Sophocles and euripides. ? In their works, thinking about fate highlights the development and changes of ancient Greek tragedies. ? Aeschylus's works are set in the legend of heroes and praise the power of God. Man's destiny is guided by God. More powerful than God is fate, and God can't get rid of it. For example, Prometheus, who has the ability to predict his fate, told Russia his fate in The Bound of Prometheus. Although he was angry at Zeus' cruelty, he didn't stand up against the bound fate. Instead, he told Io that he would be saved by her descendants. Even Prometheus, who dared to steal skyfire for mankind and disobeyed Zeus' wishes, did not dare to disobey his fate. He can only silently endure the ravages and calmly wait for Hercules' rescue. ? In Aeschylus's works, there are many ways to convey fate through gods or prophets. He holds a fatalistic helpless mentality that he can only obey. Fate is the inevitable cause of his characters. ? In Sophocles' works, tragedy is no longer that man becomes a plaything of God or fate. In his works, man changed from a slave of fate to a hero, who dared to doubt the injustice of fate. Although Oedipus finally obeyed the Oracle of "killing the husband and marrying the mother", he did not accept the fate arranged by God, dared to face the reality and punish himself.

It can be seen from euripides's works that one's destiny can be decided by oneself. Unwilling to be abandoned, Medea murdered her rival in love with trickery and brutally killed her two young sons in retaliation for her husband's ingratitude. However, she didn't collect the karma of fate, and she drove away in a magical car. What goes around comes around doesn't work for her so much as fate is in Medea's hands. ?

On the other hand, it has religious abstinence thought and religious divinity thought. ? d)?
