A Must Have!!

James Nohrnberg's essay on the Iliad is an eye-opening analysis of the epic and the epic hero. It is a clearly written and insightful look into the motivations and pressures Achilles faces as the greatest of the Achaean warriors. The essay provides a solid foundation for understanding the epic as a genre and the epic's place in literary history. A Must Read!
