Describe the relationship between Homer and the Trojan War. please do ASAP If it helps here is what what i was supposed to read
The 400 years in Greek history after the fall of the Mycenaeans is often called the "Dark Ages." It was indeed an illiterate time which was backward when compared with the great bronze age civilizations, the Mycenaeans and Minoans.

However, this was the time of Homer and the evolution of the great epic poems, the lliad and The Odyssey. It was also the formative time of the later classical Greek civilization. The later Greeks believed that the poems were written by one man, Homer. Historians today are divided on whether there was one or many authors, but it is clear that the poem, through its many tellings, was modified over the years.

The Iliad and Odyssey came out of centuries of oral poetry, in which bards composed and recited complex and long passages. They and their audiences believed that they were reciting history, tales which actually happened. None of it was written down, for there was no written language. This meant that there was not as much flexibility for Homer as there was for later epic poets such as Vergil, who composed the great Roman epic, the Aeneid.

Because the poetry was orally transmitted, the subject matter was limited - Greece's heroic past, and the language was stylized. When writing eventually came back to Greece, the poems were written down for the first time. Most of the oral poetry never made it into written language, but these two poems were special to the Greeks.

There were many heroic themes of the oral epics, but the most popular was the story of the Trojan War, the Greek victory, and the return home of the heroes

What two arguments is franklin d. roosevelt making in this excerpt from his "four freedoms" speech? four freedoms by franklin d. roosevelt (excerpt) it is true that prior to 1914 the united states often had been disturbed by events in other continents. we had even engaged in two wars with european nations and in a number of undeclared wars in the west indies, in the mediterranean and in the pacific for the maintenance of american rights and for the principles of peaceful commerce. but in no case had a serious threat been raised against our national safety or our continued independence. what i seek to convey is the historic truth that the united states as a nation has at all times maintained clear, definite opposition, to any attempt to lock us in behind an ancient chinese wall while the procession of civilization went past. today, thinking of our children and of their children, we oppose enforced isolation for ourselves or for any other part of the americas. that determination of ours, extending over all these years, was proved, for example, during the quarter century of wars following the french revolution. while the napoleonic struggles did threaten interests of the united states because of the french foothold in the west indies and in louisiana, and while we engaged in the war of 1812 to vindicate our right to peaceful trade, it is nevertheless clear that neither france nor great britain, nor any other nation, was aiming at domination of the whole world. a) americans should hold on to their isolationist tendencies as long as their own interests are not under threat. b) americans have always fought to uphold human rights and correct injustices against them. c) americans have always been peaceful but should be willing to go to war to defend their allies. d) americans should go to war to protect their allies against the germans and assert their world domination. e) americans should continue to maintain their freedom even in the face of world domination.
