Join us, Owen and Isabella Gemmer, as we dive deep into the Iliad and Odyssey one book at a time. This week's episode is all about Book 6 of the Iliad, where we talk about the brutality of war. And we try to answer the age-old question: why can't we be guest-friends? Do these guys really have to fight one another? Plus, we argue over our differing opinions on Hector. Are his actions heroic or cowardly? Should he stay with Andromache or go down fighting? Listen to Book 7 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.
