A review by bookhouseboi
The Iliad by Homer
4.0
"You see, my brother, if we could escape
this war and then be free from age and death
forever, I would never choose to fight
or join the champion fighters at the front,
nor would I urge you to participate
in war where men win glory. But in fact,
a million ways to die stand all around us.
No mortal can escape or flee from death.
So let us go. Perhaps we shall succeed,
and win a triumph from another's death,
or somebody may triumph over us." (12,395-405)
