Back our regularly scheduled programming! Today's episode covers Book 16 of Homer's Iliad. This is the book where Patroclus meets his tragic end. Why does Achilles let Patroclus wear his armor into battle? What inspires Patroclus to go beast mode? And what twist of fate is his undoing? We dive into all of it here on the WINNOW podcast. Listen to Book 17 of the Iliad to be prepared for next week's episode on YouTube. You can watch this episode on YouTube. Thank you to Nat Copeland for our theme song.
