"But now I'll go and meet the murderer head-on,
That Hector who destroyed the dearest life I know"

I just spent two hours within Book I, because this time I want to inhale everything. There's so much hidden within these lines once you take a closer look.
For example everyone around Achilles is described with words like "wrath", "anger", "rage", but not him. We only know how emotional Achilles is by the way he speaks. When it comes to him it's "show, don't tell" and not just "tell" like the other characters.
