An aristeia or aristia ({{IPAc-en|ˌ|ær|ᵻ|ˈ|s|t|iː|ə}}; {{lang-grc|ἀριστεία}} {{IPA-el|aristěːaː|}}, "excellence") is a scene in the dramatic conventions of epic poetry as in the Iliad, where a hero in battle has his finest moments (aristos = "best"). An aristeia can result in the death of the hero at the aristeia's end. ExamplesOne of the most prototypical examples of aristeia is in Book 21 of the Iliad when Achilles almost single-handedly routs the Trojan army. This includes his chase of Hector around Troy; Achilles eventually succeeds in killing him and dragging his corpse around the city.[1] Other instances of this phenomenon in the Iliad are found in Diomedes' performance in battle while empowered by Athena (Book V), Hector's leading of the Trojan assault on the Achaian camp in Book VIII (with the help of Zeus), Agamemnon's aristeia in Book XI where he's on such a rampage that Zeus himself has to warn Hector against meeting him in battle, as well as Patroclus' aristeia in Book XVI, which ultimately leads to his demise at the hands of Hector. In Book XXII of the Odyssey, Greek hero Odysseus slaughters all of the suitors in his palace in another homeric display of martial excellence. It is also seen, to some extent, in the Aeneid, when Nisus and Euryalus leave the Trojan defenses to slaughter the Latin captains while they sleep. It also features in Book X, when Mezentius takes the place of Turnus and strikes down all in his path: it draws upon homeric models, using a simile.
