This paper examines how, in Homer's "Iliad", it is the
deities (gods) and not destiny that is involved with the
behavior and the
life of
humankind. It
looks at how the actions and behavior of humankind are so fundamental that they completely captivate the attention of the deities, as though they had no other errands or tasks. In comparison, it looks at how, in modern times, dependability is fixed on the individual and how the life of discussion is considered the means to reality. It shows our absolute dependence upon science and reason and our disdain for any instinctive insights and physical values.
