Welcome to entitled opinions.

We talk a lot about literature on entitled opinions,

but rarely has it occurred to me to remark that literature has motivated, sponsored,

and promoted a great deal of what we call history.

Kirkagard remarks somewhere in fear and trembling, I believe, that the poet and the hero

have traditionally been in a relationship of interdependency. Homer needs Achilles in order

to have deeds to sing about, and even more so does Achilles need Homer, for without the poet,

the hero could not achieve the aim of all his actions, namely fame and glory. If one looks at

things from a disenchanted point of view, which is not something I'd like to do too much of,

poets have a great deal of blood on their hands. For if

poets didn't exist, if the exaltors went on strike, the drive to become a hero would

be significantly diminished, and that means in turn there would be significantly fewer

slaughters in history. Because let's face it, more often than not not the traditional hero is a glorified butcher.
