Simply just a masterpiece. Some of -if no the- best lyrics I've ever heard. Amazing.

This is an Awsome song!! I think it has alot to do with LOTR. "To seek the man whose pointing hand, The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path, That churns up into stone" refers to the fellowship going down that river out of lothlorean. They pass Huge statues made of stone of kings with their hands pointing. Well, thats just my opinion....

This song is an epic. It makes you think "wow, this is what rock is all about." Kinda. You know what I mean, heh. Just amazing.

Even if the song is not specifically about mythology there are many allusions to Greek myth. This ties in with many other Zeppelin songs relating myth to life.

Personally, i believe that it's this song that will be looked back upon as what Led Zeppelin were all about. It's truly the most epic of their songs, and i feel that it's one of the most definitive rock songs of the 70's. As for Stairway to heaven being equal to it, i don't really get how you could even compare stairway to heaven to Achilles Last Stand. Stairway to Heaven is soft boring overdone rock, that lacks the genius and musical depth of Achilles Last Stand. Along with No Quarter, this is my favourite Led Zeppelin song. Eidolon
