Compare the heroic values in Genesis and the Iliad

Compare the heroic values in Genesis and the Iliad. How do the heroes Achilles and/or Hector show the ancient Greek values of honor and glory in battle, and how are these values different from the Old Testament values of obedience and faith in God shown in one or more of the Jewish patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and/or Joseph)? What do these differences in values say about the larger cultural differences in the Old Testament and ancient Greek views of a hero especially what function this hero plays within history and society?
