In this great song from The Clash, they ask "Death or glory, just another story?" We'll use that as a jumping off point for our work today.
In your notebooks I'll have you brainstorm some words / examples / definitions associated with these words:
- Honor
- Glory
- Beauty
After we discuss them, we'll turn our attention to page 51 and Nestor's comments at the top of the page about "old ideas of war."
- What is he talking about here? What are the differences between old and new ways of approaching war?
- Which is preferred by the older people in the book, or by the younger ones?
- How do these different types of war link to what we said earlier about honor, glory, and beauty?
Then, it's on to the top of page 82 and the comments Nestor makes to Patroclus.
- What is Nestor asking him to do? Why? What is he hoping to achieve?
- How does this fit in with our definitions of old and new ways of war?
- How does this fit in with what we said about honor, glory, and beauty?

You can use the second half of the period to do your reading and annotating for tonight - pages 83-96
