The Illiad, Book one

Summarize Book one of the Illiad in the context of the Greek terms arete, time, and kleos.

Arete) We see arete hidden throughout the story, but mainly in Agamemnon's argument with Achillies. Agamemnon acceptes Achillies's arete in battle, but basically says he is good at nothing else. Achillies says Agamemnon is excelent at a leadership role, but is no good at all. We also see arete when Achillies talks with his mother. His mother makes a comment to the fact that Achillies has a short life, but an excelent one.

Time) In book one we see a lot of time. It starts with Agamemnon refusing to give the servant of Apollo his daughter back. After that, we hear people talk about Agamemnon throughout the first book as having a lot of stuff, or time. Then, at the council, Agamemnon makes a big deal about needing a replacement for his prize who was the servant of Apollo's daughter. Later Achillies's prize is taken by Agamemnon who needed a replacement, and Achillies asks his mom to ask Zeus to favor the trojans so Agamemnon will need Achilles in battle and give his prize back.

Kleos)  Kleos is a bit harder to see in book one due to the fact that there are no glorious battles, but in Agamemnon's argument with Achillies, there are references to their overall glory. Agamemnon makes reference to Achillies's glory in battle, and Achillies makes a comment to Agamemnon's glory in leadership.
