Told with tragic insight, yet sympathetically, the epic may well be described as the story of man, the victim of himself. Mueller analyzes the work in three chapters, focused on substance, essence and significance, in order to make the epic poem relevant to a modern audience UR - https://go.openathens.net/redirector/ciu.edu?url=https://muse.jhu.edu/book/75809/ ER -
