ESSAY ON: Iliad/Helen & Paris

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page essay that analyzes the relationship between Helen and Paris. In Homer's ancient epic poem The Iliad, which depicts the Trojan War, the abduction of Helen, the wife of a Greek ruler, Menelaos, by the Trojan Paris (also known as Alexandros) is the event that causes the war. The writer argues that Paris' attraction to Helen appears to be purely on a physical basis, as Paris does not appear to care whether or not he has Helen's respect. Nor does he ever indicate that he has concern for her wants, feelings, or welfare. Likewise, Helen indicates numerous times that she does not love Paris, although their story has the element of physical attraction. No additional sources cited.
