Oliver Taplin Quotes
In The Last Book Of The Iliad (24.602ff.), Achilles Urges Priam To Eat: Even Niobe, He Says, After All Her Children Had Been Slaughtered By The Gods, Took Food Eventually. Both Priam And Achilles Have Been Bereaved Of Their Dearest, And Yet They Gather Themselves, And Eat, And Sleep, And Go On Living. (...) ...there Are Two Early Lucanian Vases With Mourners By A Grave Stele With The Same Inscription "spoken" By The Tomb: "On My Back I Grow Mallow And Thick-rooted Asphodel: / In My Bosom I Hold Oedipus, Son Of Laios." Even Oedipus, The Great King Of Thebes, Archetype Of Tragedy, Experienced A Catastrophic Fall And Descended Into The Deepest Pit Of Horrors; Yet Ordinary Plants Grow On His Tomb. We Are Not So Different.
