• Achilles and the Trojan War Jul 29, 2025

  

  Among all the heroes who sailed to Troy, none was more celebrated, more feared, or more tragic than Achilles, son of Peleus and the sea-goddess Thetis. His story is one of divine prophecy and mortal choice, of friendship and rage, of the price of glory and the inevitability of fate. The tale of Achilles and his role in the Trojan War became the foundation of Homer’s Iliad, one of the greatest epic poems ever composed, and continues to resonate as a powerful exploration of what it means to be human in the face of destiny.
