what is grief? is it when achilles held patroclus broken body and screamed at the gods to bring him back? or is it when demeter realized her daughter was with her brother and plunged the world into a harsh coldness? or when icarus fell and daedalus had to search the vast ocean for his fallen son? was it grief when cassandra could not warn troy of its fall and wept as visions of collapsed buildings and burning bodies plagued her? is it grief to be loved by the gods or not at all? is grief all of the above or none at all? i ask again, what is grief?
