Abstract
Abstract My object in this chapter is to examine how two great poets, in works composed some twenty-three centuries apart, address the humanitarian principles or norms of chivalry supposedly practiced in the Trojan wars. These wars are an established legend with some loose connection to conflicts estimated to have taken place between the fourteenth and twelfth centuries BC. The fall of Troy probably happened in the mid-thirteenth century BC and the Iliad was composed a long time thereafter.
