I like the scene where Ajax starts killing sheeps as if they were Greeks, it is a very good image of alienation in front of hate. Although I am not sure if that was in the book or in the Odyssey. A classic one, thats for sure.

Classic literature has so much to teach us! It's sad to see that after all those centuries, we still forget the past and refuse to save the future.
