“Sing Goddess, of the wrath of Achilles, Peleus’ son.” So begins the Iliad, the greatest war epic in western culture. Since the dawn of recorded history, the history of man has been nearly synonymous with the history of war, a history that begins with Homer and continues today. Then as now, war remains the ultimate arbiter of human affairs, an awful and ever-present reminder of humanity’s failure to escape its wrathful roots. Seemingly inescapable, war is supremely important because it is the great destroyer of states and populations and whole cultures. And so the question itself is crucial to the survival of the state. What matters most in battle?
"…ὅτι δίκαια μὲν ἐν τῷ ἀνθρωπείῳ λόγῳ ἀπὸ τῆς ἴσης ἀνάγκης κρίνεται, δυνατὰ δὲ οἱ προύχοντες πράσσουσι καὶ οἱ ἀσθενεῖς ξυγχωροῦσιν..." (…πως κατά την ανθρώπινη λογική μπορούμε να μιλάμε για δίκαιο όταν και τα δύο μέρη έχουν ίση ισχύ και ότι οι ισχυροί πράττουν ό, τι τους επιτρέπει η δύναμή τους και οι αδύναμοι υποχωρούν και το αποδέχονται). θΟΥΚΥΔΙΔΗΣ
