Fate versus Destiny
In Greek literature fate and destiny have always played a very important role. In fact, throughout most Greek literature fate has remained the one constant dilemma which all of the main characters are forced to confront. In Homer’s Iliad, fate always seems to be always lurking around the corner, waiting for its next victim to meet his or her destiny, which is in the end ultimately death. Even the gods are even unable to stop or intervene in the course of fate. But despite the doom and gloom that fate represents it seems that free will within the Iliad is not lost. Decisions can be made, when faced with fate, and even though the outcome in the end may be the same it raises the question, does fate exist? If fate is the “end all no way out” type of scenario then why is it even possible to allow the characters to even make decisions or contemplate other outcomes? The truth is, if Akhilleus never made a decision and left his life up to fate he would have never been one of the greatest Greek heroes. Akhilleus would have never been dipped into the river of Styx as an infant if his mother Thetis did not decide to do it. Akhilleus wouldn’t even have been in the Trojan War if he didn’t decided in the first place to enter the field of battle and become a warrior. On the Trojan side, Paris would have never even thought of Helen if it wasn’t for his decision to give the apple to Aphrodite. Again this raises the question, does fate really even exist or is “fate” just an explanation for the outcome for the decisions being made whether good or bad?
“My mother, Thetis of the silvery feet, tells me of two possible destinies carrying me toward death: two ways: if on the one hand I remain and fight around Troy town, I lose all hope of home but gain unfading glory; on the other, if I sail back to my own land my glory fails-but a long life lies ahead of me.” (9.449-506). Despite the fact that everyone will eventually die at some point within their lives, which is not fate or destiny at work, but which is a reality, Akhilleus can make choices about his future. If fate was ultimately the only option for Akhilleus, he would not have the option of having any sort of free will or the ability to even make decisions. The decisions which Akhilleus does make, however, are the reasons that will ultimately lead him to determine his own fate. The choice of going into battle knowing that there was a possibility for death, which most warriors already know, is not because fate has already decided it for him: he chooses to fight. He chooses to go and make his name immortal by going into to battle and becoming one of the greatest warriors in Greek history. If fate made the all of the decisions for him Akhilleus would have never challenged Agamemnon for Briseis. He would have never been torn over the option of whether he should continue to fight or to turn back and go home because his pride was wounded. Fate, destiny, has nothing to really to even do with Akhilleus other than the simple fact that Homer uses Fate as an excuse for characters to rationalize the situations instead of having them deal with the consequences of actually having to make a choice. When Akhilleus finally makes a decision, good or bad, destiny or fate are to blame for the outcome of a decision. Fate does not control the results or consequences of a decision and it seems that destiny is used only as an excuse to embrace or rationalize death within the Iliad.
Hera said it best when Zeus was debating whether or not to save one of his sons, Sarpedon, from his “fate”: “O fearsome power, my Lord Zeus, what a curious thing to say. A man who is born to die, long destined for it, would you set free from that unspeakable end?” (16.256-59). Mortal men are supposed to die in the Iliad. It wasn’t Sarpedon’s destiny or fate that made the decision for Zeus to let him die in field of battle nor was it fate that stopped Zeus from interfering. Zeus made his choice not to spar the life of Sarpedon and Sarpedon made his choice to go into battle knowing what “destiny” had in store for him if the worst should happen. Sarpedon is mortal and death is inevitable but in the end Zeus made a decision and so did Sarpedon. The fact is Sarpedon and Zeus both had free will and the opportunity to change “fate” by making different decisions about their actions. In the end fate did not decide the outcome of the situation. Sarpedon and Zeus decided their “fate” on their own terms knowing that there would be consequences and the benefits of their actions.

Exercising is very important in the human world, and many people like us couldn't do things that we can do today without it. The main benefits of exercising is that you'll burn calories, increases the well-being of a sleep pattern, and keeps you awake all day (No need for coffee). I will go in depth with the benefits, starting with the calories. Every time you eat food, you add calories to your body. It's good to add calories, but having too many will make you bigger, and eventually obese. So, you need to exercise to regulate the calories. With the sleep, everytime you exercise, when you are sleepy, it increases melatonin rates, and you fall asleep faster. And with that better sleep, you will stay awake all day. So, exercising is very beneficial to humans with all these benefits, and will make us overall a better person.
I hope you like this, and Happy Holidays! :)
