Description
In the beginning was Homer…. With his narrative skill and especially his description of a defensive weapon, he also gives a work of art, the shield of Achilles.
The aim of the story, which follows Homer’s expression, is to bring the child into contact with the culture of the Homeric world and art. Just as Homer went from being an epic poet to becoming a painter and transforming a war epic into a hymn of life, so the child can go from being an ordinary reader to becoming an artist, poet or writer.
Timeless concepts such as war and peace, the vastness of the sky and the ocean, happiness and unhappiness become a reason for discussion, for implementing educational programmes, for searching and creating. In addition, everyday life with its agricultural and pastoral activities, dance, poetry and the arts open up new paths for the child’s socialisation, integration into the group, respect for fellow human beings and enjoyment of small moments.
Achilles’ shield is life itself, of which war is only one aspect.
