“The unfolding of the inevitable takes place simultaneously in the heart of man and in the cosmos. The eternal blindness of history is coutered by the creative lucidity of the poet, who designates for future generations heroes more divine than gods, more human than humans.”
First published in 1943, this slim volume by the French-Jewish existentialist philosopher Rachel Bespaloff takes Homer’s Iliad as its subject, contrasting the foundational themes of Greek mythology with those of the Bible, and applying her findings to the modern age.
In French.
