Homer the Illiad

This is the story where we learn about what a Trojan horse is. 

The character of Achilles comes up later as he was an embodiment or exemplar of a certain emotion — anger — 

Achilles is also the example used by Aristotle when he talks about the difference between courage and foolhardiness. 

Achilles certainly rode that line. 

Best war chronicle ever sung.
