The main idea of ​​the Iliad is written in the first line, as Homer asks the Muse to sing "the wrath of Achilles". The main theme of the Iliad is anger, the vice that is not included in Homer's ideal, which leads to impulsive decisions and alienation from society, but its absence brings good consequences. Homer is trying to teach his people that anger can lead to haste. and impulsive decisions. It is well depicted when Paris stole Helen from Agamemnon, an action that provoked his anger and the start of the Trojan War. Thousands of Greeks died during that war sparked by Agamemnon's anger. In the Iliad, Homer provides a good example of a bad king. Of a king who impulsively started the bloodiest ancient war due to his anger and wrath. Homer wants to teach his people by highlighting this impulsive decision made by Agamemnon. Achilles' refusal to participate in the Trojan War can also be used as an example of a hasty and reckless action. He almost deprived himself of honor and glory. He also put the lives of the Greeks at risk because without him they would not have been able to fight effectively enough. Thus, anger is a vice, which could lead to hasty, impulsive and reckless decisions. The second thing Homer tries to say in the Iliad is that anger can lead to alienation from society. Achilles' anger is provoked by Achilles' sense of honor as a result of discord, leading to the warrior's alienation from the Greeks and ultimately from human society. In the Iliad, the origin of Achilles' anger is a direct result of the action he perceives as an attack on his personal honor. Agamemnon takes Briseis from Achilles. In response, Achilles gave up the war, carrying out a bif......middle of paper......revenge. Achilles' reconciliation makes him not only a hero, but also a good, honorable person. In this example Homer wants to say that the absence of anger can lead to good deeds and help make the right decisions. Anger or wrath is the vice that is definitely not included in Homer's ideal. It can lead to hasty, impulsive and reckless decisions. As happened with Agamemnon and Achilles. Furthermore, anger can lead to alienation from society. As in the case of Achilles who alienated himself from his warriors and from the Greeks in general. But the absence of anger brings good consequences, pushes people to do good deeds and make the right decisions. It happened when Achilles returned to battle and returned Hector's corpse. He returned to society. He corrected his old mistakes. In the Iliad Homer tries to teach his people the basics of morality and it is one of his lessons.
