Table of ContentsReviewsAn engaging and sometimes inspiring guide to the rich complexities of the 'Iliad.' --Mary Beard, New York Times Book Review Anhalt's contribution is building an overarching narrative of how the Greeks engaged problems of anger--problems that continue to provoke--to imagine ways of living together. --Choice This book closely engages with ancient texts and in so doing shows how turning one's gaze away from political and social issues of the 21st century can actually help one return to those issues with new perspective and modes of approach. --Jonathan Master, Emory University Anhalt has taken on three of history's most important works of literature and applied their lessons to the present day. Enraged is an important reminder that reflection, dialogue, and empathy have no boundaries or time limits. --Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire The moral power of Greek myths is tireless in questioning the human passion for violence.
