The Wrath and the Wanderer: Joel Christensen on Homer, 3,000 Years Later

Said to have been annotated by his tutor, Aristotle, the volume reportedly rested beside his bed, alongside his dagger, throughout his military campaigns. Whether every detail of that story is true is impossible to know. What is beyond dispute is that Alexander saw in Achilles not merely a literary hero, but a model for his own life. Few books have shaped a reader so profoundly, and few poets have shaped history so lastingly as Homer.
