achilles and priam

i've hurt my back sufficiently that i can't do anything except read. not a burden (except for the sitting part!). i've been reading a lot of camus lately, with simone weil on the backburner so i'll be going back to read about the iliad sometime soon. as is the way, the yt algorithm kicks up books prof re achilles and priam. it never occurred to me, despite all the rereadings over the years, that the iliad is bookended by notions of possession of bodies! interesting!
