. In this module, I would like you to compare and contrast two Greek heroes: Achilles from the Iliad (with a special emphasis on book 1) and Odysseus from the Odyssey (with a special emphasis on book 9. How do these characters embody what it means to be heroics? What characteristics do they share, and what separates them into distinctly different types of heroes? Then move on to discuss how Homer’s characterization of Achilles and Odysseus might reveal something about the concept of masculinity in ancient Greek society. USE THE SOURCES I HAVE attached please.
