Download or read book Becoming Achilles written by Richard Holway and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the Iliad and myth through the lens of modern psychology, Richard Holway exposes sacrificial childrearing practices at the root of competitive, glory-seeking ancient Greek cultures. The Iliad dramatizes and cathartically purges not only strife within and between generations but knowledge of sacrificial parenting. Holway's analysis yields a new reading of the Iliad, from its first word to its last, and a revised account of the family dynamics underlying ancient Greek cultures.
