  • Similar To Achilleus Anger

Almost the entire poem is devoted to the fighting, from an initial overview of the forces to minute descriptions of combat.

As these two completely different ideas were pushing me to the brink of madness, my mind began to click. The swirling messy cocktail of two abstract ideas started taking shape as I began remembering what I had learned earlier in school, and from my summer readings. At this point I came to the realization t...

  • Levin's And Tolstoy's Experience Of The Sky
