I can’t stop thinking about this piece by Cy Twombly made in 1977 as a painting in ten parts inspired by Homer’s Iliad. This one is called The Fire that Consumes All Before It, there are 9 other Shield of Achilles; Heroes of the Achaeans; Vengeance of Achilles; Achaeans in Battle; Shades of Achilles, Patroclus, and Hector; House of Priam; Ilians in Battle; Shades of Eternal Night; Heroes of the Ilians.

Wow, that's deep stuff! Twombly's work really captures the chaos and emotion of the Iliad. Love how art can make us feel history so vividly!🔥🎨
