Achilles, Hector and an Athlete
This is an excerpt from the paper...
In both HousmanÆs poem, ôTo An Athlete Dying Youngö and in HomerÆs The Iliad, the heroes of the works share much in common, particularly the impact of war on their fate or destiny.In HousmanÆs poem, the young athlete was once carried ôshoulder-highö through a town of ôcheeringö townsfolk (Housman 1). Now, his corpse is carried through the town, presumably a casualty of war. Once he was a victorious athlete, heroic and lauded, but now he is the ôTownsman of a stiller townö (Housman 1). In other words, not only has the life of the athlete been dramatically altered by war, but so have been the moods and lives of those in the town who used to cheer.
