As such, Alice Oswald’s, 2011, commentary on The Iliad; Memories, which focused on much the same aspect, was likely (in part) inspired by Weil. Memories is a rewritten Iliad; it doesn’t include many of the main characters, instead, it acts to memorialise the 200 soldiers who died in The Iliad – Oswald remembers the footsoldiers as heroes. Oswald said in an interview with the Guardian that she found the representation of war in The Iliad frightening in its realism: it transfixed her, kept her up…
