More discussion on the question which of three Homeric characters come off better in the modern day--Achilles? Hector? Odysseus? First, from Brad DeLong, "The Best of the Achaeans" (including consideration of the movie Troy); then, Mark Kleiman, "Against Odysseus" (including question of poisoned arrows); then over to Matthew Yglesias, back to Kleiman; Grammar.police goes off toward Aeneas... Who said liberals were not interested in the Classics?
