Achilles the Hero

Achilles has become a symbol of the flawed heroism which has found its echo in the mythologized history of Antiquity, to the epic figures of speculative and popular fiction today. This Life of Achilles is dominated by the Trojan Wars, where the clash of empires, romance and bloody war reflected the role of humankind as playthings of the gods.

Ahile a devenit un simbol al eroismului defectuos care si-a gasit ecoul in istoria mitologizata a Antichitatii, la figurile epice ale fictiunii speculative si populare de astazi. Aceasta viata a lui Ahile este dominata de razboaiele troiene, unde ciocnirea imperiilor, romantismul si razboiul sangeros au reflectat rolul omenirii ca jucarii ale zeilor.
