《特洛伊》英文读后感
I have never been to Troy, but David Maule made me feel as if I were
standing on the high wall of Troy, watching the fierce war. Thanks to this
British author, who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story, I
found it easier to understand this story. Though the story happened over 3000
years ago in a remote place, I was deeply fascinated by it.####The
mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much,
yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war.
Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy, Priam. He was not only a real
hero of Trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by
later historians. The war started because of the mischief of his brother,
Paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. However, since Hector was the commander of
the Trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. It was really a
tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior,
Achilles.
It is natural to see death in a war. As a famous Chinese parable says, “A
life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as Mount Tai.”
Sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. Achilles was such
a typical person. His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive.
He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow
soldiers and terrified the enemies. Actually, Achilles was half-god who was
almost invincible in people’s mind. That’s why his name was memorized long
after his death.
Besides the two great men, the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a
great hero. He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married
and had a lovely son. However, since his country was allied to Mycenae, he had
to take the command given by the king of Mycenae. I’m quite sure that the
story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who
thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because
he was the person who got the idea. Thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came
to an end at last. If you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read
the book.
The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played
important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.
The story of the golden apple was such an example. When Eris, the goddess
of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony
on Mount Olympus, a dispute happened. Hera, the queen of gods, Athena, the
goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all
involved in the argument for the apple. None of them was willing to give way,
so they turned to Paris for a final judgment. Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty
and promise, Paris handed the apple to her. To keep her word, Aphrodite helped
him to get Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. That was
the cause of the war.
Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. So during the
war, they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods, such as Apollo
and Aphrodite, guarded Troy. When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband
Menelaus, Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off.
After the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the
Greek alliance and Troy. However, both Hera and Athena were not happy to see
it. Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now, will you send Athena to make the
Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission, Athena went
down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success.
