It's finally here: My final essay on the Iliad.

It's 9600 words, so you might have to read it in multiple sittings.

It contains a full summary of the Iliad and my final impressions.

How does revenge avenge affect a person and those around them? 

What does the Iliad say about war? 

What's with the behavior of the gods and the role of fate?

There are also brief profiles of the major characters in the Iliad and what we can learn from them.

Have a good day.

After everything Zeus does to help the Trojans, he turns his attention away from the war.

That's when Poseidon makes his move to help the Achaeans.

Now the Trojans and Achaeans are trapped in a tug of war between the two powerful gods.

What's going to happen now?
