The topic of force has long remained a problem of interpretation
for readers of Homer's Iliad, ever since Simone Weil famously
proclaimed it as the poem's main subject. This book seeks to
address that problem through a full-scale treatment of the language
of force in the Iliad from both philological and philosophical
perspectives. Each chapter explores the different types of Iliadic
force in combination with the reception of the Iliad in the French
intellectual tradition. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that the
different terms for force in the Iliad give expression to distinct
relations between self and "other." At the same time, this book
reveals how the Iliad as a whole undermines the very relations of
force which characters within the poem seek to establish.
Ultimately, this study of force in the Iliad offers an occasion to
reconsider human subjectivity in Homeric poetry.
