Riassunto

It is believed Homer was blind, yet this adaptation proves his vision was far reaching and his insight into the human condition more relevant than ever. The Iliad is revitalized in this contemporary version with a central focus on the epic’s deadliest hero, Achilles. This time, Archie is twenty-seven year old combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, achieving moderate celebrity as the crowd favorite of an underground fight club. Blessed as a fighter, he yearns for a life of peace but is thrust into the greatest battle he will ever know when confronted by a dangerous rival and his own mortality. Homer’s original yarn has been stretched across the millennia, weaving seamlessly man’s battle with himself, his enemies and his God into today’s modern fabric.
