Welcome back to WINNOW. This week we are covering Book 17 of Homer's Iliad. We're not quite to the rage of Achilles yet. First the Greeks and Trojans must fight over Patroclus's dead body. Even once Hector has stripped off Achilles's armor, his body still carries great significance. But why is his body so important? Watch this episode on YouTube. Listen to Book 18 of the Iliad to be prepared for next week's episode on YouTube. Thank you to Nat Copeland for our theme song.
