What's the problem here? I'd understand if you had trouble with the family tree in "Metamorphoses", but what you mentioned isn't anything special.

>It's a some relatively weak fighter dies and it flashes back to his peaceful life before the war episode
Man I love the Iliad. Such an objective and neutral and appropriately tragic view of war. It doesn't take sides between Greeks and Trojans, strong fighters and weak. All are pawns of fate, all humanized. No heroes (in the modern sense), no villains.

Please don't make me...
But to give you an idea, if you, like me, loved Greek mythology as a kid (the Iliad and Odyssey included) pic related is how you'd feel reading The Song of Achilles. Indiana Jones being the Illiad...
