Two Great Men

An Appreciation of the Iliad

Homer's epic poem features Thespian sensibilities. A tragedy between two heroes destined to die- such is the nature of war. Vainglorious Greeks fought the Trojans. One hero died for the sake of honor and glory. His "enemy": a prince who fell defending his land. The unrequited rivalry was heart-rendering... Transcendental.
