I was trying to understand that in the context of the Illiad.
So Romans are the Sons of Ilias, similar at how Gentiles are called sons of Esav. This is an example at interpretational level.
Rome is still alive to these days, in other shapes and forms, maybe the Iliad can have some codes that we can link to the present, or at least at the events of the past, like the Roman Empire.
This seems interesting, I want to know more about the Iliad at a spiritual/interpretational level, it may be a very actual book.
As far as I know, the Iliad was the "bible before the bible", followed by Greeks. Not only the Iliad alone, but still.
