Although the Iliad has a history dating back more than three
thousand years, it remains a riveting and insightful study of
universal themes relating to the human condition. This study
focuses on three interconnecting subjects: the relationship of
human beings to the external forces - the gods - which are
operative in the universe; the concept of heroism in war and beyond
war which fulfills the human aspiration for meaning in existence;
and the process of emotional, intellectual, and psychological
evolution by which the poem's hero, Achilles, evolves from a state
of narcissistic indifference to the fate of other human beings to
the capacity to demonstrate compassion to those who have been his
most hated enemies.
