# The Iliad, or The Poem of Force

update: 2024-10-21

## 句子拆解
Weil 認為，在 “*Iliad* ”中，力量（force）與人類精神（human spirit）之間的關係（頁 p.3）：
- 受力量形塑：「*as modified by its relations with force* 」
- 人們誤以為能掌控力量，但也受其驅逐和蒙蔽：「*as swept away, blinded, by the very force it imagined it could handle*」
- 人們也屈從於力量所壓制，因而受其扭曲、變形：「*as deformed by the weight of the force it submits to*」

> *Nearly all the lliad takes place far from hot baths. Nearly all of human life, then and now, takes place far from hot baths*. (Weil 1991: 4)

暴力發生的場合──從古至今，使人遠離他的日常生活、他的溫暖，他能泡到「熱水澡」的地方。
