How does the poem treat death and its aftermath?  How do various characters respond to the deaths of those they love?  How does this compare to Gilgamesh’s response?  What attitudes toward burial, the bodies of the dead, and the soul are articulated in the Iliad?  Which passages most clearly illustrate these beliefs and practices?  How do they compare to our own?
