have provided a great number of tools and works thatwe as a society are expected to draw from for our own moral gain. While some are worksinspired by a God, others were fashioned by mere mortals hoping to make a dent on the moral fabric of all people, no matter what the time or place. Surely, when Homer wrote The Iliad many years ago he had such dreams of inspiring others to their greatest potentialwith his work. However, it is interesting to ponder the thought of how, or even if, Homerwould have envisioned his work being able to stand the test of time and remain a resource and guideline for honorable living even in the 21st century. That is not to say that copies of The Iliad are used as such, but the potential is definitely there, if it were to be conveyedto our present generation of people still trying to seek out what is not only decent and right, but what truly makes a person whole. It is with that in mind that it would be truly worthy of all people to hear the cry of the ancients and not let their lives fall into obscurity, or be tarnished by wasteful living. With The Iliad comes much learning,even at the dawn of a new millennium....
