More than this, however, it embodies an essential part of the metaphysical order of the universe, the divine dispositions according to which things behave the way they do . This insight is first suggested in the opening invocation: these oft-quoted lines represent the ironic heart of the poem; at the beginning, Homer explicitly states that the focus of the story is anger, a destructive anger that condemns noble men to agony and death, reducing them to nothing more than the flesh of themselves. The less cited second part, however, perhaps brings to light a second focus (add?). To begin, it might be worth noting that the so-called heroes did not unequivocally embrace war. Many, as is supposedly constructed in the collective unconscious, express the desire for a world without wars or, rather, a different arrangement that avoids the need for killing and death on the battlefield. Unfortunately, however, there is no safe haven and, therefore, one must accept the final death as inevitable, since the war, as defined, was established by a divine will; Even in the examination of perhaps the most famous evocation of a warrior's faith, the Sarpedon speech, it always proves convincing that the glory of a hero is not at all worth the damages that human beings should have the opportunity to escape.
