| Comment | In all probability, while citing Homer, Murman Lebanidze takes into account not some concrete part of “Iliad” but the spirit of the whole poem. Namely, author of the poem to be discussed, may implicate under “women”, women in general (Helen, Briseis, Chryseis), as the reason for war in ”The Iliad” - the reason for “mustering troops from everywhere”.
