Achilles - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

Shared similes such as those comparing both Gilgamesh and this hero to lions mourning their cubs led Michael Clarke to argue that the Iliad may have drawn from Mesopotamian sources. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this Greek hero, the central character of the Iliad, who is compared to a lion while mourning the death of Patroclus.

ANSWER: Achilles [accept Achilles beside Gilgamesh: Mortality and Wisdom in Early Epic Poetry]

[10m] Scholars agree that this Greek mythological figure was likely derived from the Mesopotamian god Tammuz. This man was turned into an anemone flower after his death.

ANSWER: Adonis

[10h] As theorized by Salomon Reinach, the worship of Tammuz as the “all-great Tammuz” may have inadvertently led to the sailor Thamus spreading a rumor about this Greek god.

ANSWER: Pan [accept “the great god Pan is dead” or “Thamoús panmégas téthnēke”]
