“The Judeo-Christian and Islamic view has triumphed so completely over the Homeric worldview that dishonoring the enemy now seems natural, virtuous, patriotic, pious. Yet in the Iliad, only Achilles disrespects the enemy.”

Disrespecting enemies can be traced all the way back to chimps, who are known to fling poo at opponents, and also castrate and dismember chimps of competing tribes.
