Achilles Isn't a Hero. He's a Case Study in Narcissistic Rage

Achilles is the reason the word hero means what it means. Three thousand years of literature, art, and military rhetoric point back to him as the origin of glory in battle. But open the actual poem and the first word Homer gives you isn't hero. It's menis. Wrath. ------    • Greek Mythology Has a R*pe Problem. So Doe...      • The Human Mind Through Literature   Psychological autopsies of society, through literature. The books you were taught to read told you what they meant. This channel tells you what they diagnosed. Books of Radiance investigates the darker patterns of modern life through the writers who saw them first. Classic texts, one psychological concept per video, zero comfort reading. Not about reading more. About seeing more. If you're looking for book summaries, this isn't it. If you're looking for a mirror, stay. #theiliad #achilles #theodyssey #BookTube #BooksOfRadiance #Literature #LiteraryAnalysis #ClassicLiterature #PhilosophicalBooks #BooksThatMakeYouThink #Authors #BannedBooks #ClassicBooks
