One Of The Day's Dead Comments

daniel, it's been a while since i've read the iliad, if indeed this story can be found there. that aside, i take this poem as a reminder that each person who dies has her or his story, each one not to be merely grouped as the countless dead or a bloodless statistic. -glen

This poem which you have presented from your past memory has made us emotional. This is excellently penned and treasured with time and reader's memory. Thank you very much for sharing this lovely work...10

Your father was very much affectionate towards you. You were properly nourished by him as a first born son. He had favoured you a lot as a prince. You had listened to your father, to your teachers, to the prophet Calchas with his knowledge of the Gods and Goddesses with great satisfaction and pleasure. You had learnt a lots of things. But war was so sad to take away life. Death provokes thought and gives sorrow. Separation of son with a father was so sad.

that beloved sword....became part of my body (From) Anagoras I learned to plan a strategy, to balance strength with cunning.... //... Great poem written in a classic epic style which ends in the tragic death of a hero mourned even by the Gods. Thanks.
