Achilles the Hero: Epic and Legendary Leaders - The World's Greatest Myths and Legends
J.K. Jackson
Achilles has become a symbol of the flawed heroism which has found its echo in the mythologized history of Antiquity, to the epic figures of speculative and popular fiction today. This Life of Achilles is dominated by the Trojan Wars, where the clash of empires, romance and bloody war reflected the role of humankind as playthings of the gods.
