Checked Out and Overdue

143. The Iliad by Homer

27 May 2025

Description

Is Achilles even the main character? Why are there so many names? And how much ego is too much ego? In this episode, Chelsea and Taryn dive into The Iliad by Homer (via the Emily Wilson translation), with very different reactions. Taryn found a lot to appreciate in the epic battles and larger-than-life drama, while Chelsea... did not.They chat about what worked, what didn’t, and how reading it with a group of online friends made the whole experience way more fun. Expect a short spoiler-free section followed by a deep dive into the world of gods, glory, and an overwhelming amount of hubris.Timestamps:👋🏼 Intro: 0:00 - 6:41📚 General Overview: 6:41   - 21:54⚠️ Spoilers: 21:54  - 50:41
