You can always skim the battle scenes. The question of how much are our actions within our control and how much are they the fault of fate/God/the gods is always an intriguing one.Queen of Carrotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03193758647591339890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-67368003013140131172007-01-20T05:55:00.000-08:002007-01-20T05:55:00.000-08:00hmmm.. interesting...

I think th...hmmm.. interesting...<br />I love the book !<br />I think the whole point about it the approach to Moral Choice.<br />Not much different from what the modern world imposes on all of us - we too blame it on the Lord, expect from him...<br />I enjoyed immensely the fashion in which is is written, and wish I could read the original...<br />In my opinion, Achilles was not out to be admired... it is a story about rage, and it looks at is as a natural emotion.<br />Above all, I really like the fact it is less hypocritical than most of the modern hero tales around !<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-58654440985511974332007-01-19T12:48:00.000-08:002007-01-19T12:48:00.000-08:00That was the most entertaining review I've read of...That was the most entertaining review I've read of the Illiad, I must say! =D And people say modern day tales have too much violence in them......<br /><br />I hated that book. But I'm glad to say I read, if for no other reason than to gloat that I suffered through it. It's like a Badge of Honor in keeping with having read Moby Dick in its entirety. Which, btw, I have never done.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5831804.post-73835592368376656752007-01-19T09:56:00.000-08:002007-01-19T09:56:00.000-08:00Thank you!!
