Bilingual collection. On the threshold of Western history and literature (around the 8th century BC), an immense poem, the Iliad, recounts the exploits as well as the sorrows of the heroes of the Trojan War, and, at the center of this poem, an immense hero, Achilles, exhibits his strength as much as his tears. Could we today conceive the idea of a sensitivity that would be heroic? It is good to always return to Homer… Around the body of Patroclus Achilles' pain – Hephaestus forges his new weapons Achilles' weapons Combat of the gods – Exploits of Achilles The Scamander – Achilles before Troy Hector / Achilles duel – The death of Hector Mourning of Achilles and Patroclus' funeral Hector's outraged corpse – Priam at Achilles' – Hector's funeral.
