I wonder if Weil read Genealogy of Morals? It’s curious that just as squarely as Nietzsche locates the origins of Christianity in Judaism — in contrast with the Homeric tradition — Weil, in Poem of Force, finds it in the Homeric tradition as distinct from the Judaic.
Nietzsche thinks Christianity is the efflorescence of Jewish “resentment.” Weil finds Jewish ultranationalism at odds with the essentially pacific message of The Iliad and the Gospels.
