That's a big question.
Thank you.
Now, the interesting thing about Hades is that it kind of represents
a different realm that runs parallel to the whole action of both the Iliad and the Odyssey.
It's the sort of thing that is always there.
It's a threat that lies in the background.
And you hear about their deaths as well if you're listening to this song.
But that means that the legacy is over.
The world of the heroes is coming to an end.
Everybody slowly is going into Hades, which suddenly becomes a repository of tradition, as it were.
So all the stories that you have access to through the Odyssey, you can also have access to if you were able to visit Hades.
But of course, by definition, you cannot do that unless you die.
And if you die, there's not much point in relaying anything back.
Now, the interesting thing that Homer does in the Odyssey is that he manages to get us there, get us down in Hades, get us to get a first-hand experience of the people that we know, we've known for a long time.
And we get a chance to hear their voice, at least the first, to Agamemnon and Achilles, after everything has concluded, after the whole quest for glory, all these things that kept us pumped through the Iliad, looking at the heroic brilliance
And the excellence in battle, suddenly we see the aftermath of that.
But this actually means in human terms.
But the interesting thing about it is how do you do it?
How do you take your audience there when you know that this realm of Hades is inaccessible to everyone?
No one can have access to it, including the gods for the most part, if you exclude Hermes, who is the messenger god, of course.
