J. Griffin/Homer on Life & Death
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page book review that discusses Jasper Griffin's text Homer on Life and Death (1983). The writer argues that this text provides a fascinating commentary on the Iliad, Homer's epic poem that depicted the Trojan War. While Homer's work has been addressed extensively over the course of the centuries, Griffin gives it new life by pointing out the themes that Homer was trying to convey about human existence and mortality. At one point, Griffin writes that the principal theme of the Iliad is death, rather than combat, and specifically about "life and death," contrasted with the greatest possible sharpness.

A 6 page discussion of the poem “The Performance”. Armstrong, the hero of the poem, stood on his head for his country but even that could not spare him from the calculated hand of destiny. Even more interesting in regard to Dickey’s choice of title for this poem, however, is that the poem has at least some basis in truth. As we shall see below, however, perhaps James Dickey is even more deserving of the title “The Performance” than is the pilot who he seeks to memorialize. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
