Iliad Book 22 and The Poetics

Iliad Book 22:
       7. Hector was tricked by Athena because Athena disguised herself from Hector by taking the form of his brother. then she tricked him by persuading him to fight Achilles because she (in the form of his brother) would have his back. then, when Achilles threw his spear, and Hector dodged it, Athena betrayed him and took the spear back to Achilles so that he could kill him.

The Poetics:
       Epic poetry follows with tragedy because they are both of long length, and they are about people that should be taken seriously. They differ because epic poetry is a subset of tragedy, and elements that epic poetry has are found in tragedy.
