| Abstract: | The Iliad is about a dispute between two men, Agamemnon and Achilles, on an injustice Achilles received from the other when the former took his war-price, a slave-girl. The consequences to this private dispute at the end of a ten-year massive war in Troy, caused by yet another private dispute when Paris ran away from Sparta with Menelaus’ wife, Helen, were enormous. Not only fighting covers the 24 books of the Iliad, but also other and deep illustrations of the suffering man undergoes when an injustice is made to him, as when one loses his son or friend in battle, Hector or Patroclus. |
