From the publisher

In The Pity of Achilleus , Jinyo Kim examines how the major themes of the Iliad -Achilleus' "wrath," heroic values such as honor and glory, and human mortality and suffering, to mention the most widely recognized-are connected to each other in a way that reveals the poem's structural coherence and unity. Kim asks whether Achilleus' pity toward Priam at the poem's close is, as is widely believed, a poetic deus ex machina .
