The Most Heartbreakingly Poignant Modern Love Story

The Odyssey Is The Story Of Americans Up To The Point Where They Are Well-established, And Even So It Is Detached From The Historical Side.

The Iliad Is The Private Lives Of People Thrown Into Disorder By History.

To Have One's Own Story Told By A Third Party Who Doesn't Know That The Character In Question Is Himself The Hero Of The Story Being Told, That's A Technical Refinement.

One Can Easily Classify All Works Of Fiction Either As Descendants Of The Iliad Or Of The Odyssey.

There Have Been Only Rare Moments In History Where Individual Histories Were Able To Run Their Course Without Wars Or Revolutions.
