For this week’s discussion, consider either Achilles in The Iliad or Oedipus in Oedipus the King as ancient “heroes” and address the following questions:

· What does the hero do to earn that designation?

· What are the benefits and burdens that come with his role as hero?

· Where does he stand in relation to the rest of society?

Use a specific scene in each work to develop your answer. Along the way consider how these depictions of ancient heroism align with or contrast with the heroes we see in Scripture, like David in the story of David and Goliath from I Samuel 17.

All posts should be grounded in the details of the assigned texts with appropriate citations using MLA style. Your initial response should be 200-300 words.
