Historia
Few warriors, in life or literature, have challenged their commanding officer and the rationale of the war they fought as fiercely as did Homer's hero Achilles. Today, the Iliad is celebrated as one of the greatest works in literature, the epic of all epics; many have forgotten that the subject of this ancient poem was war - not merely the poetical romance of the war at Troy, but War, in all its enduring devastation.

A good overview

If you have never read the Iliad this is a great introduction. But please do yourself a service and read the original.

Historia
Adam Nicolson sees the Iliad and the Odyssey as the foundation myths of Greek - and our - consciousness, collapsing the passage of 4,000 years and making the distant past of the Mediterranean world as immediate to us as the events of our own time.

Amazing book
Revisado: 08-31-20
Easily the most interesting book on Homer I’ve ever read. The author speaks on the universal human themes in the stories and relates them to his own life. There is a portion where the author recounts being the victim of a sexual assault while visiting a foreign country. This section in particular is beautiful written and spoke to me on a personal level.
