Show notes

In this week’s episode we cover Book 13 of Homer’s Iliad. We refer to this book as the battle of the red shirts because there's a lot of fighting between the expendable characters. The guys who, if this was Star Trek, would be wearing red shirts. There's also a lot of talk of courage as Poseidon rallies the Greek troops against the Trojans. And don't forget about Menelaus! Listen to Book 14 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.
