Now, let me tell you something about the revenge for honor.
As we all know that honor is very important especially for the gods and heroes. So it’s very common that we see many figures in myth fight for their honor, or we can say that someone revenge for his honor.
But why they revenge for honor? You know that the title “hero” is closely linked with the view “value life for honor”, so once their honor or reputation is under threat, they will revenge, even if they may be killed. They live for honor, as well as they die for honor.
Maybe you have feet very boring about what I said before. But, the next, I will tell you a very interesting story about a hero revenging for honor. First of all, please look at the pictures. Familiar, absolutely, you know that he is Achilles. We don’t know which one is more similar to him, maybe he is as cool and strong as the left one, or perhaps he looks like the picture in the right. But that is all nothing serious, today I will not talk about his appearance.
We have saw the movie Troy, so we all know Achilles is the bravest soldier. Although he is very strong, his honor is also threatened. When his slave Briseis was looted by Agamemnon, he feet his reputation was great challenged, so he decided to revenge. First he exited the war caring nothing about the serious situation. And then he told that to his mother Thetis and she managed to persuade Zeus to help the Trojan to revenge to his son. Finally, Agamemnon was forced to return Briseis to Achilles
and give him rich material compensation.。
