A radically new reading of ancient epic poetry, which first explores the Epic of Gilgamesh, the great poem of love and despair from ancient Mesopotamia, and shows how this work underlies the Iliad of Homer - especially through the hero's response to the death of his best friend.
1. Introduction; 2. Divinity, humanity and wisdom; 3. Gilgamesh and glory; 4. Gilgamesh confronts death; 5. Interlude on Homer and the muse; 6. The race of half-gods; 7. The plan of Zeus; 8. The coming of Achilles; 9. The strife of the Iliad; 10. Achilles looks inward; 11. The death of the friend; 12. Achilles responds; 13. From lamentation to vengeance; 14. Achilles like a lion; 15. Mortality and wisdom; 16. The truths of lamentation; Conclusion: the slender-winged fly.
