The Iliad
by Homer
read: 2016
Man, the ancient Greeks were not squeamish about violence.
Achilles is not a sympathetic character - he spends the first two-thirds of the Iliad nursing a grudge in a fit of pride, and the last portion on a wrathful rampage. Even the gods are jerks - there really aren't any models for good behavior here.
