72.21052 Virgil?s The Aeneid: Fortune Favors Those Who Dare
While Virgil may not have been the first person to realize that those who are brave enough to strive for something often achieve their goals, he did put it very succinctly in his Aeneid, ?Fortune favours those who dare?. The importance of this line is found in not only the meaning of it when taken out of context (in such a situation, we are presented with a simple sentence that, like so many positive-affirmations, can be a simple and easy motivator moving people to work hard toward their aspirations) but also very distinct meaning within the work itself. It is the latter that we are concerned with. What, indeed, was the contextual meaning and value of this line? How did Virgil intend for the reader to experience and agree or disagree? What, exactly, does it mean within the Aeneid? These are the questions that will form the structure of this paper.

74.21441 An Analysis of the Social Role of the Hero in the Iliad by Homer
This paper will analyze the social role of the hero in Book 10 of the Iliad by Homer. By observing Hectors dialogue with Andromache, we can see why he presents a sometimes uncompassionate and cruel response to her pleas to not participate in the war. However, Hector shows a greater social responsibility in defending Troy and his family's honour. By protecting the city of Troy, he protects his wife and child, creating a moral and ethical reason for his 'heroic' stance to take part in the battle.

75.21818 Clytemnestra in Aeschylus' Agamemnon
Both in contemporary terms of characterization as a derivative of dramatic action and the classical nature of tragedy as defined by Aristotle, Clytemnestra stands out as one of the most popular female roles ever conceived for the stage. From a contemporary standpoint, she maintains a strong sense of striving for her objective in an unrelenting fashion. From a classical standpoint, she epitomizes the fall from grace that is so prevalent in Aristotelian tragedy. All in all, it is a role defined by the actions of the character and those actions are on a level large enough to rank this as one of the strongest female roles ever developed.
