Certo, la giustizia è importante: ma fino a che punto riesce a imporsi e valere? Il racconto dell’Iliade insegna che le persone troppo spesso ritengono la scorciatoia della forza piú appetibile della strada della giustizia, nella convinzione – erronea ma umana – che la prevaricazione sia piú semplice e piú vantaggiosa. Qual è la forza coercitiva della giustizia, allora? Come fare a convincere gli uomini a seguire la strada piú lunga? Perché rispettare la giustizia, quando sembra che una soluzione piú vantaggiosa possa essere guadagnata con un’azione di forza?

Il primo verso dell’Iliade celebra l’ira (μῆνις) di Achille.
La giustizia viene introdotta come alternativa alla forza, come un tentativo molto pragmatico di evitare il ricorso alla forza (che a volte funziona, come nel caso dello scudo e a volte no, come nel caso di Nestore). Tra le pieghe dell’Iliade affiora dunque una prima riflessione sulla giustizia. Piú concretamente, ed è un punto la cui importanza si chiarirà piú avanti, la giustizia consiste in un processo di negoziazione: è un compromesso concreto, un accordo che risolve un conflitto o una divergenza, non la rivendicazione di un principio assoluto14.
