Omeros Book III

on p.137 I thought there were some interesting features where the writing looks like a play. Afolabe asks Achille what his name means, but both have forgotten.

"you nameless son are only the ghost of a name"

indeed, Achilles is a name long removed from its origins. Likewise, the character himself feels long removed from his origins.
