Re: Country, based on the Iliad

Glamorising a rabble of civilian-murdering, kneecapping terrorists by
comparing them to ancient heroes, while repulsive, does perhaps have one
useful effect: it makes one question what on earth the point of the Trojan
war was. Never mind the mythical excuse of a petty quarrel between goddesses --
if this war actually happened more or less as described, why was a gang of
assorted Greeks trying to destroy a city in Asia Minor, and why should we
admire their conduct in doing so?
