Achilles, Priam, and the Redemptive Power of Forgiveness

Achilles, Priam, and the Redemptive Power of Forgiveness
(Gavin Hamilton’s Priam Pleading with Achilles for the Body of Hector)

“For all the battle scenes, violent sex, and rage that fills the poem, the most memorable scenes in the poem are moments of love—especially loving moments of embrace.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
