Iliad: What Homer Reveals About Pride and Leadership Failure

The Iliad: What Homer Reveals About Pride and Leadership Failure is a focused interpretation of Homer's epic, examining the human forces that drive conflict, breakdown, and loss. Rather than retelling the story, it analyzes how ego, honor, and personal grievance destabilize leadership and fracture alliances.

This book reframes The Iliad as a study of failure-showing how strong individuals and powerful systems unravel when emotion overrides judgment. It explores how leadership decisions are shaped by pride, how conflict escalates beyond control, and how outcomes are often determined long before resolution is possible.

By isolating these patterns, this work provides a clear lens for understanding how internal conflict-not external opposition-defines success or failure.
