This is my first body paragraph. Could I get some feedback? Specifically, is it ok to jump from the article to the book like I did? I wasn't sure if the transition was smooth enough. Also, does my analysis make sense? Thank you kindly.

Throughout The Iliad, warriors are consistently reminded that there is honor to be gained from fighting. To understand this honor, we consider the article “The Hero” from James M. Redfield. Redfield explains that in The Iliad, warriors are exalted above other social classes and must constantly fight in order to retain their high status in society. He writes that heroes go to battle “not on behalf of their community but on behalf of their own status within it” (Redfield 179). In this culture, heroism becomes a social duty that men must fulfill in order to maintain the warrior class. Homer alludes to this idea in Book IV, when Athena urges the son of Lycaon to fire an arrow at Menelaus and renew battle after the brief truce. Athena says to him, “'Have you the daring to fling an arrow at Menelaus? Just think what thanks, what fame you'd win in the eyes of all the Trojans, Prince Hector most of all'” (Homer 148). Athena does not try to persuade the son of Lycaon by instilling in him rage for Menelaus. Instead she speaks of the honor and raised rank he will gain. Why? His social duty as a warrior overrides any personal desire he has to harm Menelaus.
