This analysis helps us reconsider Achilles’ curious statement as part of an agonistic process by which the Iliad appropriates and marginalizes a hero ill fit to its tale.

This expansion set implements two new epic heroes into the game - Ajax and Diomedes. The game developers have not specified which month the DLC will become available. After establishing Heracles’ independent existence outside Homer, we explore how speakers in the Iliad relate – and relate to – the accomplishments of this hero, in trying to make sense of or influence their situations. Ajax & Diomedes is one of the add-ons to Total War Saga Troy, which will most likely be released in the winter of 2020/2021. Diomedes is a young lad with big ambitions.

Diomedes, son of Tydeus, was renowned as the greatest tactical mind of the Achaean effort against Troy. Hey guys Today were playing some early access Ajax & Diomedes DLC and were playing as the latter. Our purpose in this chapter is not to try to reconstruct the lost epics of Heracles but rather to use the conceptual framework of interformularity and intertraditionality to explore the ways in which the Iliad represents Heracles and makes his tradition speak to the concerns of this narrative.
