Maybe it is more reasonable to delete this article, but I would suggest that the search word aristeia would link to Arete (excellence) page. (Aethralis 11:30, 30 September 2005 (UTC))
I think it would be better to leave the article as it is. Arete refers to a specific heroic quality whereas aristeia refers to a type of scene in the Iliad. I believe the difference is worth keeping the two articles distinct. Thomaschina03 17:04, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
This page has a lot of errors. I'll be back.
editThe aristeia is a narrowly defined phenomenon. Some of the elements listed here are superfluous. Ifnkovhg (talk) 05:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Keep the article; it's useful to describe a unique and important literary phenomenon. But yes, it probably could be improved. For instance, I wouldn't call what Nisus and Eutryalus do in the Aeneid an "aristeia." The soldiers they kill are asleep. There are better examples in the Aeneid, and they don't appear to a "lesser extent." In Book X, Pallas kills many of the enemy in his aristeia, which Virgil thinks merits comparison in an epic simile to the clearing of a forest by buring it down. Turnus's aristeia then results in his killing Pallas. Next, Aeneas is enraged by the death of Pallas and conducts his own aristeia. Book XI of the Aeneid has a woman's aristeia, in which Camilla, the warrior maiden, fights bravely and kills a lot of Aeneas's allies before being killed herself.

editI don't think this claim about the movie can be stated as fact; it should be attributed to Lowe as an opinion. 2601:47:4302:2B60:396C:1603:633B:A075 (talk) 14:04, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
