In this week’s episode we cover Book 12 of Homer’s Iliad. This book starts and ends with the breaking of the wall that the Greeks erected to barricade themselves and their ships. We see that in the future, when this war is over, the gods themselves will break down the wall. But for now Hector is the Trojan warrior that breaks through the gates into the Greek camp. He throws a boulder. It's an epic "Grond" moment. Listen to Book 13 of the Iliad to be prepared for the next episode on YouTube. Watch this episode on YouTube. Thank you to Nat Copeland for our theme song.
