             The Illiad is one of the greatest artifacts of Western civilization.
             According to Krstovic the Illiadhas been admired both for the artistic mastery.
             it demonstrates and for the profound influence it has exerted on all of.
             European literature. Krstovic informs us that the Illiad has served as the.
             primary model for most subsequent epics. He says that the Illiad is more like.
             a heroic epic. He informs us that the Illiad has a narrative impact and brilliant.
             imagery.
             In this epic poem, it takes place during the tenth year of the Trojan.
             War. The war start from Paris taken Helen with him. Over the centuries,.
             critic's like Krstovic have been nearly unanimous in praising Homer's.
             handling of the narrative, imagery, structure, and themes of the Illiad.
             Krstovic points out that Homer's imagery is marked by immediacy and.
             crystalline clarity. According to Krstovic, some critic's posit that the unity of.
             the Illiad is weakened by Homer's occasional errors and anachronisms. Still.
             other commentators divide the Illiad into two separate stories, the Acheleid.
             and the story of Achilles's moral tragedy. Homer presents an extremely harsh.
             view of life in which human beings often seem destined to suffer as mere.
             playthings of the gods and fate.
             The Illiad is by for most a great epic poem. It represents between love.
             and war. The Illiad is the oldest and in some ways. There are many questions.
             according to this book that is unanswered. The Trojan War will always.
             remind me of this epic poem. .
