![]() ![]() Following Arendt's thought trains will lead us to take a fresh look at a number of areas, of which the most interesting will perhaps be her theory of action. For the reason why we have spent so long tracing her path from The Origins of Totalitarianism to The Human Condition is that only within that context can one properly understand the later book. Instead, what I shall try to do in this chapter is to situate it within the context of Arendt's work, and in particular to relate it to the thought trains set off by her encounter with totalitarianism. It would be neither appropriate nor feasible to attempt a full-scale commentary on the book here. ![]() ![]() Generally regarded as her magnum opus, it has been the subject of a good deal of analysis and criticism. Although Totalitarianism has been perhaps the most widely read of Hannah Arendt's books (while Eichmann in Jerusalem is certainly the most notorious) it is The Human Condition that has attracted most scholarly attention. ![]()

She forges alliances when she can, with Priam's aged wife the defiant Hecuba and with the disgraced soothsayer Calchas, all the while shrewdly seeking her path to revenge. Largely unnoticed by her captors, the one time Trojan queen Briseis, formerly Achilles's slave, now belonging to his companion Alcimus, quietly takes in these developments. Old feuds resurface and new suspicions and rivalries begin to fester. The body of King Priam lies unburied and desecrated, and so the victors remain in suspension, camped in the shadows of the city they destroyed as the coalition that held them together begins to unravel. It does not come, because the gods are offended.
