COT [revised for publication]:

YHC was struck by the ending of the Iliad. The epic closes not with the sacking of Troy or the death of Achilles, but with the release of his rage. He yields to the supplication of Priam—the father of his nemesis, Hector. Achilles’ greatest victory wasn’t on the battlefield; it was the moment he mastered his own anger to show mercy to an enemy. Real strength isn’t just the power to dominate; it’s the discipline to know when to lower the shield and lead with a human heart.
