About This Item
University of California Press. Near Fine. 1991. Softcover. 0520074076 . 1 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 355 pages; The powerful portrait of the glorious Greek warrier Achilles presented in Homer's Iliad around 700 BC imbued a particular soldier with transcendent value, linking "soldier" with "hero" in Western European culture. Tracing Achilles' appearances through periods of Greek, Roman, and Christian imperialism in the works of poets, generals, philosophers, priests, and patriots, Katherine Callen King establishes the moral or political significance attached to the hero as a response to shifting mores and contemporary issues. .
