For those who read Ransom, Malouf’s imaginative rendering of this episode of The Iliad will forever be an unforgettable part of the original. Urn:lcp:ransom00malo_0:lcpdf:54fe6978-e226-4904-942f-a41d638e626f It is astonishing to see how brilliantly in the 21st century this ancient story has been immortalised anew. Events in the present, as they are happening, are narrated in the present tense. The novel explores themes of identity, fate, and mortality. Essential backstory, recounted in flashbacks, is narrated in the past tense. Ransom (2009) by Australian novelist David Malouf is based on an episode from Homer’s Iliad and highlights the meeting between Achilles a demigod and Priam the king of Troy during the Trojan war. Tense Ransom is written in both the past and present tenses.
