Cool quote from the intro to Stephen Mitchell's Iliad:
"Here, amid all the sorrow and concern and deep husbandly love, in what both these admirable people sense may be their final meeting, at the climax of a prayer Hector must know will never be fulfilled, is the image of a mother rejoicing at her son's return from battle with the bloody armor of the enemy he has just killed, as if she were watching him in his robe and mortarboard graduating from college."image credit Pin It
