That review was a lot of words saying nothing much. On the topic of Iliad, I always found it puzzling that the (supposed) war started at the wedding of Achilles' parents, i.e. before Achilles was born. Yet Achilles apparently participated in the war as an already grown and famous man? And then later on in the story, the son of Achilles (Neoptolemus aka Pyrrhus) hides inside the wooden horse and helps sack the city. How old was Achilles, really? What's the timeline here? Of course, a part of the answer is fiction being fictitious. But some classical authors assume more nuance to the chronology, with there being two Greek expeditions – first floundered – so the whole enterprise took 20 years rather than the popular 10; Achilles fathering Neoptolemus at the age of 13; etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/classics/comments/kza1ji/achilles_age/ https://www.reddit.com/r/classics/comments/kza1ji/achilles_a...
