Their male counterpart, the hero born to excel in warfare, voyages and the exploration of the unknown, is wily Ulysses. The figure filled with negative connotations is Pyrrhus, son of Achilles the half-god, but nowhere near as worthy as his mighty father. War, as always triggered by economic issues, together with conflicts of race, religion, culture and civilisation, result in a story of strife and genocide, set in a context of no small relevance to modern times, proof of how the problems facing humanity have been around forever, and continue to occur over and over again, without ever being resolved. ...The Last King ( L'ultimo re )
