Achilles!

[stigmaticman]

Oh great, valliant Achilles
How you strike fear in the souls of men
You turn brave men into cowering dogs
You are like a god, careless of man's mortality
You kill with swift, merciless wrath
your heart has been hardened towards man's plight
you murder with no remorse
You're a man void of concience
You care not about who you lay to waste
You are a wolf among lambs
You are a natural born killer
Long live strong Achilles!

Hi would rather do a poem about Hector, the trojan hero, who died at the hands of the murderous Aquilles because of Athena (I guess it was her, though I don't recall very well), who lied to him by telling him that he would live if he fought Aquilles. For me, he was the real hero of the Trojan War, since he went to meet his death even when he was awared that he would die. Anyway, I'm talkinng about Hector when I should compliment you for the poem.
Good job, man! Your poem really was inspiring and well written.

Wow, is that fairly tough going? One of my sons explained to me where the term Achilles Heel came from and why he was vulnerable in that spot. I didn't know that before.

Good poem. I think you got Achilles's personality down.

thanx for the input
I'm just curious, but have any of you read "The Iliad?"

 

[Duvodas]

I have, the real one, not the abridged edition. So I pretty much know the epic tale.
