Essay Instructions: Topic is The Iliad / The Role of Fate and the Gods Then and Now

This is to be a writing about impressions on the topic. No sites are required. I want to discuss how the the characters in the Iliad felt that their fate was predestined and their survival and success was dependant largely on the gods favor of them. How the gods were actively involved in the almost daily lives of these characters, using them, blessing them, punishing them, etc. Contrast that with modern times. We more commonly feel that we control our destiny and the role that the deity plays in our daily lives is more passive.

I need 10 pages.
