really enjoyed this one! I love getting the Trojan perspective in the work—some of L's description of Achilles as the 'trafficker of corpses' in the war is really thought-provoking for thinking about the Homeric epics. thank you so much for sharing!!

Thank you for introducing me to this poet and work! I love the way you describe the Alexandra as a work for the Library of Alexandria - such a powerful image that conveys the wealth of knowledge required to understand the text as well as its inaccessibility given the Library's destruction.
