The Homeric Heroes
The Homeric heroes possess an apparently limitless splendor—or rather, their actions spring from an admirable vigor that, at various moments, seems to exist precisely to highlight its opposite: fragility and the inescapability of death. This is the paradox that constitutes what we could call the ontological dimension of the Iliad: the heroes carry out successive extraordinary deeds, but the closer they come to the limits of what a man can achieve, the more evident the urgency of death becomes. The dramatic intensity of the passages that address the fragility of life has never been surpassed in Western literature.
