Dear Reader, Season 3 Episode 01: The OG Iliad Part I

November 08, 2024 | 6 comments

In the third season premiere, I look at the source material The Iliad by Homer and translated by Emily Wilson. After providing background on the author, and historical/cultural/mythological context, I run through the major players within the epic. I examine the first act of the story (Books I-IX), discussing key or interesting moments after I give a synopsis of each Book. Is Helen, daughter of Zeus, really to blame for the Trojan War? Listen and find out!
