28. Homeric Gods, Univ. of Saskatchewan
- duke.usask.ca
- Homer's gods often puzzle or offend modern readers. ...
- (1) the seeming lack of morals and general lack of gravity in Homer's gods, who constantly display all too human weaknesses and at times are cast in overtly comic roles (2) their constant interference in the lives of the mortals, which seems to cast them in the role of malicious puppeteers, while reducing Homer's heroes to mere pawns in a selfish and often rather petty divine game of one-upmanship .
- Homer's gods display the same values as do his heroes: they are as jealous of their honors (timê) as are, for example, Agamemnon and Achilles in Book 1, and many of their actions are motivated by a desire to preserve face that precisely parallels the motivation of Homer's mortal heroes. ... In all of these instances the gods of Homer are motivated by the same personal interests as are his heroes. While the gods have their favorite heroes, on the whole they seem, like Achilles, to lack any concern for the common good: just as Achilles is willing to see Greeks die by the scores because of a slight from Agamemnon, so Hera is implacable against the Trojans, despite their seeming nobility and piety, because of Paris' offense against her honor. ...
- Moreover, in their obsession with timê, these gods squabble among themselves just like Homer's heroes and often are portrayed in an almost ridiculous light. ... Having enjoyed Hera's charms, Zeus — like many of his mortal counterparts — promptly passes out, thereby allowing Poseidon and the other pro-Greek gods to turn the battle against the Trojans. ...
- All in all, these gods strike the modern reader as very temporal creatures, and in many ways they are. ...
- What set the gods apart from humanity was not their wisdom, perfection, benevolence, or goodness, but their might. The gods were the powerful lords of this earth, who lived forever and knew no sorrow, who controlled the rain, sent disease against livestock or against human populations, and controlled the outcome of battle. Much of ancient Greek religion consists of a communal attempt to please the gods, or at the very least not to offend them. ...
- Once you consider the gods as a means of explaining the phenomena of this world, a number of elements of Homer's gods begin to make sense. It is natural, for example, that there be a plurality of gods, each with his/her own particular powers and spheres of influence, to account for the manifold experiences of life. It is natural, as well, that the gods disagree, since the world is filled with contradictory forces. Above all, it is natural that the gods of this competitive society, dominated by its warrior aristocracies, display the same values and operate according to the same set of motivations as the human nobility: the gods are, as it were, the ultimate heroes. ... Homer's gods accurately reflect both the social hierarchies and the spirit of the Dark Ages (see The Iliad and the Greek Bronze Age page). ... As this happens, the competitive, amoral, utterly solipsistic gods of Homer become problematic. ...

- 'Gods & Generals': Rave reviews, revolting rants.
- Let me acknowledge, upfront, that as a member of the cast of the new Civil War epic movie "Gods & Generals," I cannot, even with my bit part, objectively review this production which meant so much to me. ...
- Farah writes that "Gods & Generals" is "A must-see as perfect a movie as fallen human beings are capable of producing. ... this movie will make you proud to be an American from the North or South I can honestly say I have never seen a better movie than 'Gods & Generals. ...
- But the Baltimore Sun's Sragow, like his fellow movie critics writes: "'Gods & Generals' is a fiasco as a movie and as history, partly because it fails to dramatize the contradictions in the positions of Jackson and Lee men who say they love the Union but love their native state more. ...

- "All right you little gods. ...
- Grudgingly, they authorized the formation of the Thunder Gods Corps, and cleared the way for building of special "sure-hitting" attack craft. The first Japanese Kamikaze and Thunder Gods offensives were soon to become a reality, and for the first time since 1941 Japanese pilots would again begin giving more than they received, but at the ultimate cost!.
- Thunder Gods were specially trained pilots who used the Ohka, the manned Japanese equivalent to the German V-1. Once the Ohka's vulnerability became apparent, some Thunder Gods switched to flying fighter-bombers overloaded with standard ordinance. ...
- Soon the Thunder Gods program was well underway despite its relative unpopularity. In October, 1944, as the Thunder Gods Corps was officially coming into existence, Vice-Admiral Takijiro Onishi requested permission to use bomb-laden fighters in a "Kamikaze" offensive at his new command in the Philippines. ... The stage was now set for two parallel suicide attack programs: the Thunder Gods; and the Kamikazes.
- Meanwhile, the first 100 volunteers of the Thunder Gods Corps continued their training while construction of the first 150 Ohka rocket bombs moved at a feverish pace. The original Japanese plans were to deploy the Thunder Gods to the Philippines and Formosa (now Taiwan), but American carrier groups and submarines effectively paralyzed movement south from Japanese ports. ... Not only was she viewed by many as their last hope for carrier aviation, but crated up in her holds were the first 50 Ohkas to be completed by Miki's Aeronautics lab! This loss was severe enough, but when the carrier Unryu carrying the next 30 Ohkas was sunk en-route to the Philippines a few weeks later, it became apparent that the Thunder Gods offensive would be badly delayed.
- As news of these setbacks spread, discipline of the Thunder Gods volunteers themselves became more difficult. ... Some officers mercifully allowed these indiscretions, but others felt the need to maintain discipline at all costs, which in one case triggered a nighttime melee at the Thunder Gods' home base at Konoike. ...
- Enforced Leave In mid-January 1945, the men of the Thunder Gods Corps were encouraged to visit their families. ...
- During the next few weeks, the Thunders Gods Corps was assigned to the newly reorganized Fifth Air Fleet, which was charged with the defense of Southern Japan, including Okinawa. ... The Thunder Gods were merged with the T-attack Corps, made up of Kamikaze pilots flying fighters and fighter-bombers. ...
