The RAGE that made Achilles the most dreaded warrior of the Greeks, the rage that drove him to slay so many noble Trojan warriors, was also the rage which urged him to withdraw from battle, the rage he felt when the main King Agamemnon seized the beloved maiden Briseis from Achilles, Briseis, the Trojan maiden, the prize of war. Then, when Patroclus, his best friend wearing his armor, is killed in battle by the Trojan hero Hector, Achilles goes mad with rage, turning into a killing machine, avenging his friend’s death by killing Hector and many Trojans, even though his goddess mother Thetis revealed to him that if he returned to battle, he would die in battle, rather than live a long life in obscurity if he simply returned home.
The Iliad both glorifies the glory and honor the brave warrior earns on the battlefield while also exposing the meaningless and futility of war, with many touching family scenes of husbands and fathers whose fates are doomed. The Trojan War is doubly futile, the Greeks are fighting for the return of Helen of Troy, who was abducted from the Greek Menelaus by the Trojan Prince Paris, and Helen now despises Paris for the long war he was brought on his people.

Slideshow for teaching Song of Roland. Note that the final slides are teacher's notes. Some materials are from a variety of other sources; all of which I believe are credited. Please inform me if work that is included is not properly credited.
We cannot truly understand the culture of the ancient Greeks, and Greek philosophy, culture and history, and also the Western philosophical tradition, without becoming familiar with Homer’s works, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The Iliad and Odyssey depict a warrior culture. All ancient cultures were warrior cultures out of necessity. War was a deadly business, if an ancient city-state lost a major war, often the men would be slain, and the women and children would be sold into slavery. Most of the slaves of the ancient world were either captured by pirates or enslaved during war.
Both ancient Rome and Ancient Greece were warrior cultures, the cultures of the nations of Israel and Judah in the Old Testament were warrior cultures, and all ancient and medieval cultures were warrior cultures until the rise of the modern nation-state. To properly interpret Greek Philosophy and History, the Western Philosophical tradition, and the Old Testament, we must realize that these ancient cultures were rooted in a warrior ethos.

Irony’s Edge, ‘It is a relational strategy in the sense that it operates not only between meanings (said, unsaid) but between people (ironists, interpreters, targets). Ironic meaning comes into being as the consequence of a relationship, a dynamic, performative bringing together of different meaning-makers, but also of different meanings’

3. Damianos of Akielos has returned. His identity now revealed, Damen must face
his master Prince Laurent as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to
kill. On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries
hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor’s forces are massing. In the north,
the Regent’s armies are mobilising for war. Damen’s only hope of reclaiming his
throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers. Forced into an
uneasy alliance the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their
most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built
survives the revelation of Damen’s identity—can it stand against the Regent's
final, deadly play for the throne?
