questions the iliad is meant to inspire: 

• how free are we really, as human beings, to make our own decisions?
• where should the line be drawn between heroism and cruelty?
• ought the quest for individual honor to be prioritized over the lives of others?

questions i have:

• what accounts for the bro code dissonance of agamemnon stealing achilles’s girl when he’s literally leading an army in a war that was started because paris stole his brother’s girl?
• is diomedes single?
• to the nearest thousand, how many heart emojis would achilles text to patroclus in an average day if the technology were available?
