The Moon and Death

"She was hostile, and dead; everything Achilles loved in a woman"- Pg. 120. Achilles, like all heroes, thought himself great above imagining, and as a result thought he could have anything or anyone he wanted, including an Amazon woman who died in the fight to kill him. Achilles would never admit it, but there are much more amazing things in mythology than him. An example is the death- origin story I told in class. Every night, the moon would ressurect people from the dead, until an old man demanded it stop; people should remain dead. The moon obeyed... all except for itself; a moon that came back from the dead every night. Such is a feat not even the great Achilles could accomplish.
