Timothy B. Shutt, Monsters, Gods, and Heroes: Approaching the Epic in Literature
"So it's a strife here, in a way, between position—between the CEO and the top salesman; between the principal and the best teacher; between Miller Huggins, the manager, and Babe Ruth, the best baseball player who ever lived; between the person who can really do it, and the person who is in charge. Those are incommensurable excellences, and then and now they often come into conflict. So here—that is the rage within the rage, the conflict within the conflict, that Homer is interested in chronicling."

"إذن، هو صراع هنا، بشكل ما، بين المنصب – بين المدير التنفيذي وكبير البائعين؛ بين مدير المدرسة وأفضل معلم؛ بين ميلر هاغينز، المدير، وباب روث، أفضل لاعب بيسبول على الإطلاق؛ بين الشخص الذي يمتلك القدرة الحقيقية على الإنجاز، والشخص المسؤول. هذه كفاءات لا تُقاس بمقياس واحد، وكثيرًا ما تتصادم آنذاك والآن. إذن هنا – هذا هو الغضب الكامن في الغضب، الصراع الكامن في الصراع، الذي يهتم هوميروس بتدوينه."
