Peacetime in the Iliad
Keywords:
Iliad, Homer, Peace, Value of lifeAbstract
Although the Iliad narrates the final events of the Trojan War, periods of peace are mentioned in several passages. Homer describes the customs of times free from armed conflict, such as men in the assembly and women in their daily tasks, which have parallels with those described in the famous ekphrasis of the Shield of Achilles. The poet also warns of the importance of suspending hostilities to carry out funerals, and he reflects on the value of life and the futility of war. This article analyzes the sections in which Homer refers to times of peace so as to understand what notion is found in the Iliad about this concept.
