When Gods Wept and Heroes Raged: The Story That Invented Western Literature
Nearly three thousand years ago, a blind poet sang a story so powerful it would echo through every battlefield, throne room, and tragedy that followed. The *Iliad* isn't about the Trojan War-it's about ten catastrophic days in the war's final year, sparked by wounded pride and ending in reluctant mercy. This is the template for every revenge tale, every exploration of honor and mortality, every meditation on what makes us human. From Shakespeare's tortured princes to modern antiheroes wrestling with their demons, Homer's fingerprints are everywhere. What makes an ancient poem about bronze-clad warriors relevant today? Because beneath the divine interventions and epic battles lies something uncomfortably familiar: our own capacity for self-destruction when pride overrides reason, and our desperate search for meaning when death is the only certainty.
