ROOTING FOR THE TROJANS

Was anyone disappointed that more important Achaens didn't die? I found myself disappointed that only the minor Achaens died in battle. Patroclus seemed to be the real annhilator, as well as Ajax. Even when Hector was raisng havoc in battle, there was a vulnerability about him. He had the help of Apollo to kill Patroclus. Does anyone agree or disagree?

FATHER OR CREATOR GOD

In The Iliad we encounter Father Zeus. My question to you guys, is do we still relate to a father god? Progressive Christianity tells us that God is beyond sex. That our creator does not have sexual organs. That God is beyond sexual identification. The problem is relationship. How do we encounter someone so much larger than ourselves? Also, if we have a broken relationship with our father, it makes it even harder to relate to a god as father. Do you guys see this as just being politically correct? Many have changed the Lord's Prayer address to "our Creator."
