This week's episode is all about Book 8 of the Iliad, where we get serious about trying to understand the greek gods. Are they really fickle? Can we unlock the hidden meaning behind their seemingly random actions? Bella proposes that we look at this through a symbolic lens, a Jonathan Pageau perspective, to dig deeper. Plus, Zeus finally gets involved in the action. He whips out his golden scales and his lightning bolts. Listen to Book 9 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.
