I didn't see a QTDDTOT thread so I'll ask this way

Need help finding a book I read a while ago. It was a fantasy novel with a young boy as the main character. Everyone seems to like him yet views him as a kind of cursed child. His love interest is the baron's daughter whose father accidentally sells out the whole town to a raider pretending to be a soldier. I don't remember much after that.
Also OP, I always figured that she meant he was weak willed and incapable of being enraged.

Alive to outrage in the sense that he isn't fighting back for what is (now) his like he's supposed to.
She's saying Paris is a coward basically.

>>9896030
She's saying she don't want no scrub

That is close to how I took it. So "the withering scorn of men" is simply her describing outrage.
>>9896133
That much to me was obvious, it was whether her description was of her current husband Paris, or of her dream lover.

Yes, someone more sensible to men's affront.

Thanks, anon.
Another question too, beginning of Book 5, Athena armors Diomedes
>She set the man ablaze, his shield and helmet flaming
>with tireless fire like the star that flames at harvest,
>bathed in the Ocean, rising up to outshine all other stars.
>Such fire Athena blazed from Tydides' head and shoulders
Was he actually covered in fire like Ghost Rider? I can't recall Edith Hamilton mentioning this.

In my opinion yes, since there's also a comparison to Sirius.

Are there any examples of fiction that lack conflict? Tvtropes claims that "If you don't have conflict, you don't have a story." http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Conflict I would like to know /lit/s opinion on this.

In regards to philosophy, should I read the full books? I've never finished the Enneads, Leviathan, or Meditations on First Philosophy and it's eating me up inside
