Jonathan Brodhacker Brodhacker 1 Joe Baumann S06/07 6 March 2014 Iliad: How does Homer define heroism in the Iliad?

When a servant enters with news about the English force‚ Macbeth shows his courage the way a bully does -- by picking on someone weaker. Even before the servant has a chance to speak‚ Macbeth shouts‚ "The devil damn thee black‚ thou cream-faced loon! / Where got’st thou that goose look?" (5.3.11-12).
