Description

Book Synopsis
Examines Achilles' experience of the futility of grief in the context of the Iliad's study of anger. Rather than assuming that grief gives rise to anger, as most scholars have done, Grief and the Hero pays close attention to the poem's representation of the origin of these emotions.
