How has death changed akhilles’s desire for kleos? in book 11 of the odyessy

Kleos is a Greek word that is used in ancient Greek text to describe the glory of battle. Warriors generally desired kleos, as this would ensure that their name and reputation would live on. In The Illiad, Achilles desires kleos, and believes it to be a worthy goal.

However, in Book 11 of The Odyssey, we learn what Achilles thinks after death. Odysseus is able to talk to him, and we find out that Achilles has changed his mind somewhat. He argues that it is better to have a long, uneventful life than to die young while achieving kleos. This shows that Achilles desire for kleos has changed after death.

Death shows that living is better than any good reputation.

Explanation:

Akhilles tirelessly desired to achieve kleos which was the honor, glory, power and reputation that great warriors achieve after winning battles.

In book 11 of the Odyssey, Odysseus has the opportunity to speak to the spirit of Akhilles, who died some time ago. Akhilles says that death has taught him that kleos is not that valuable, it is best to live and have a good and long life, achieving various achievements, than to go out in search of battles and end up dying in search of Kleos.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
