Who can help me draw a chronological comparison?
Who can help me draw a chronological comparison between the heightened dramatic effects in 2 of the most famous love stories in history ,that of ‘Paris and Helena ’ and ‘ Tristan and Isolde’?
The one recounted in Homer's Iliad and the other one taking place in medieval Ireland, how far did the aspect of time and location and historical events contribute to reaching the dramatic peak of events in both stories and how much did the difference in tongue and linguistic expressions of their time mark each of those peaks ( supported by quotes if possible ).
P.S
I know the question is too long ,so anyone ready to answer it could contribute partly by tackling only a point in detail.
I really appreciate your help :)

Are you seriously going to answer this one? Firstly, the two events are 20,000 years apart. Yeah yeah I know Homer lived in ancient Greece, but I do believe the Trojan War took place 20,000BC (or is it 10,000BC).
I have no idea how anyone can start to compare the two. How do you compare ancient Greek with Irish? Who speaks these languages?
Is this really an exam question?
