Troy
and
Moscow
Ή
OMER
and
Tolstoy
have
in
common
a
virile
love
of
war
and
a
virile
horror
of
it.
They
are
neither
pacifist
nor
bellicist.
They
have
no
illusions
about
war
and
they
present
it
as
it
really
is,
in
its
continual
oscillation
between
boisterous
animal
spirits
that
break
out
in
spurts
of
aggressiveness
and
the
detach
-
ment
of
sacrifice
in
which
the
return
to
the
One
is
consummated.
It
is
hopeless
to
look
in
the
Iliad
for
a
condemnation
of
war
as
such.
People
make
war,
they
put
up
with
it,
they
curse
it,
they
even
praise
it
in
songs
and
verses,
but
it
is
not
to
be
judged
any
more
than
destiny
is.
Silence
is
the
only
answer,
silence
and
that
disabused,
dispassionate
look
which
the
dying
Hector
casts
on
Achilles,
or
which
Prince
Andrey
seems
to
direct
toward
that
indefinite
region
