VALUE of an IMMORTALITY

"[Achilles] therefore intended to win what glory he could in his span of days. I questioned the value of an immortality that lasted exactly until one died but his fatalism was impregnable and he laughed at me and called me a sophist."
—Odysseus on Achilles, page 93, The Lost Books of the Odyssey by Zachary Mason.
