Le lacrime degli eroi

Achilles, Agamemnon, Diomedes, Patroclus, Odysseus, Hector... in the Iliad and the Odyssey, the legendary heroes who fought the toughest battles and defeated the fiercest enemies are not afraid to show their tears. Out of despair, grief, anger, love, nostalgia, they cry openly. Without sparing themselves. Without ever feeling ashamed. They sob, they shout, they tremble, they weep to the point of hunger, they weep to satiate themselves. Because in those tears, as Matteo Nucci recounts in a book that is journey, study and novel, lies the germ of an indomitable passion. Only men who have the strength not to hide their weaknesses can overcome the most odious enemy: the fear of their own mortality.
