What I Learned

Throughout this class project I learned many different aspects about the epics we read and the technology we had to use. During this process we had to describe the epics Beowulf, Gilgamesh, and The Iliad. We had to post our opinions about them on a blog we created. After reading some of the other students post, I realized that these epics had many similarities and differences that I had not previously realized. For example, I learned that every hero had assistance during their battles in some way. I also learned that not every hero necessarily had to fight a monster to gain fame, as in the story The Iliad, where Achilles had to fight a fellow human. I learned that even through we all read the same stories everyone interprets them differently as shown in our posts.

Here is Achilles with the help of Athena, battling their rival Hector.
