Beware...?

I just finished reading Homer’s, The Iliad and started reading The Odyssey. I read both in college. 

Why?

To get what I didn’t get the first time I read it. What did I get? 

To quote Homer: “Beware the toils of War.” The physical and highborn Hubris of Agamemnon, Achilles, Hector and Paris that offended the Olympian gods and soaked the plains of Troy red with blood. Depicted in “R” rated violent vividness by Homer.  

Beware Hubris!

Today, the smug moral superior hubris of those telling us how to think, behave and speak, offending our common sense, heritage and customs, soaking away at the foundations of Western Civilization. 

Carpe Diem,
