“An engaging and sometimes inspiring guide to the rich complexities of the Iliad.”—Mary Beard, New York Times Book Review"Anhalt has taken on three of history’s most important works of literature and applied their lessons to the present day. Enraged is an important reminder that reflection, dialogue, and empathy have no boundaries or time limits."—Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire"The moral power of Greek myths is tireless in questioning the human passion for violence. Reading this lively book brings back to life the urgent need to be so questioned."—Gregory Nagy, Harvard University“This book closely engages with ancient texts and in so doing shows how turning one’s gaze away from political and social issues of the twenty-first century can actually help one return to those issues with new perspective and modes of approach.”—Jonathan Master, Emory University
