ANCIENT HEROES
ACHILLES AND PARIS
Through the years of history, we have had a lot of people who all we have considered relevant since ancient civilizations because of their contributions and all the things that they did in the past, these things have an effect on the history because they left a mark that everybody remembers. I am going to compare two remarkable people Aquilles and Paris, two big heroes of Greek culture.
First and foremost Achilles, a Greek hero, was the son of Peleus, Myrmidons king, and Tetis, sea nymph. He was educated by Quiron and his mother, Quiron taught him how to play the lyre, ride a horse and hunt. On the other hand, Paris known as Alexander, was the son of Priam, king of Troy and Hecuba. He was not brought up by his parents because when he was born, was predicted that he will cause Troy destruction, so he was abandoned in the forest. He was fed by a bear and educated by shepherds.
Second, Both heroes, Achilles and Paris distinguished themselves of their bravery and courage since their childhood. They showed to everybody their abilities that they had, for example when the fought during funerals games. Not only Achilles had a human aspect, his love of Polixena but also Paris showed that he had that aspect too, his heart belonged to Helena.
In conclusion Achilles and Paris were two different heroes, but both were remarkable in the history because they demonstrated that they were unique in several aspects like love, war, education, etc. that I mentioned and explained above.
