Blog Entry #1
I think it's really interesting that the gods seem to play more of a role than the mortals in how the story plays out. Things could have gone much differently if the gods had just stepped back and allowed the people to settle their own disputes. However, since they all seem to have something in it for themselves, the gods manipulate and trick everyone into fighting against each other. It seems to me like the gods just love to be entertained, and don't really care too much about what the Trojans and Achaeans are going through. But hey, it is pretty entertaining, so the gods have a point.

I completely agree! The gods seem to use the war not for the advantage of those fighting but more often to settle their own disputes and their own power struggles. Even though some claim allegiances to one side or the other on the war those are just due to certain humans they favor and they use that to spite the other gods.
