The essay investigates Alexander Pope's translation of Homer's Iliad, with special regard to his understanding of the idea of "menis", "anger", as martial madness. The essay focuses particularly on Pope's treatment of Achilles as a furious and raving soldier who eventually redeems himself through rational repentance. Achilles is seen as the prototype of the belligerent hero who societal rules compel to leave floor to the bureaucrat and civil servant
