War and the Iliad Cocktails the cosmos and other fictionalSimone Weil's The Iliad, or the Poem of Force is one of her most celebrated works an inspired analysis of Homer's epic that presents a nightmare vision of combat as a machine in which all humanity is lost. First published on the eve of war in 1939, the essay has often been read as a pacifist manifesto. Rachel Bespaloff was a French contemporary of Weil's whose work similarly explored the complex relations between literature, religion, and philosophy.
