The second part of book 18 is justly famous for its description of Achille's spiffy new armor. Why does he need new armor? Where does he get it? The most important and longest part of the description is of his shield. It generates so much interest because the world it depicts is clearly not the heroic world of the late bronze age but the actual world of the 8th century, in which Homer himself and his audience lived. Select and be prepared to describe three scenes on the shield that are fundamentally different from anything that has been described in the poem thus far. (Hmm. Good quiz question, that!) ...

The Tungus people were from one of the eastern groups of the trans-Altai Scytho-Altaic culture, and brought with them many that cultures characteristics. They used a very plain type of pottery and as they moved south, they began farming, becoming the true ancestors of the Korean population. Tungusic Migration By roughly 1000 B.C.E., or ...
