Assignment #20: Ancient Greek Ideals Part A Passage 1 image D: This passage talks about a lady named Circe. This lady created a mixture that turned men into wild pigs or pigs with heads as shown in the vase. On the other side of the vase, there is a woman holding a plate as men with heads of a pig are drinking straight out of it. Passage 2 image C: This passage talks about two women that have wings that are called Sirens. Eurylochus and Perimedes bound me with still stronger bonds till we had got out of hearing of the Sirens' voices. Looking at the vase closely, you can see that there are six males on the boat having one hung up. Passage 3 image A: This passage talks about men taking the stake of an olive-wood and thrusting it into the person straight to the right eye. They took the stake of olive-wood, sharp at the point, and thrust it into his eye, while I, throwing my weight upon it from above, whirled it round, as when a man bores a ship's timber with a drill, while those below keep it spinning with the thong, which they lay hold of by either end, and the drill runs around unceasingly. The vase shows the three strong men pointing the stake of olive wood into that person's eyes. Passage 4 image E: This passage talks about a man tying himself to a sheep trying to hide himself. Looking at the vase, you can see the man tying himself to hide into the sheep. Passage 5 image B: This passage talks about a lady who is supporting men. Looking at the vase, you can clearly see the woman sitting with her against her face thinking about something. Part B What does this passage tell us about ancient Greek notions of the relationship between physical appearance and moral character? Use the description of Thersites' appearance and moral character as evidence for your answer. Ancient Greeks have always been able to show magnificent art that tells multiple stories of between physical appearance and moral characters. This method was used all throughout their art pieces. Thersites was described to be an unattractive person that had curved legs, woolly hair, caved chest, and a warped skull. Homer wanted to show the viewers the faults of Thersites proving how he was undesirable by people.
