Let's Talk About Myths, Baby! Greek & Roman Mythology Retold

Shownotes Transcript

We're in it now. Achilles and Agamemnon have a major spat over a prize (read: a woman). The gods are called in to settle things, and everyone gets a little dramatic. 

 

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

 

Sources: Homer's Iliad, translated by Stephen Mitchell. Honorary mention: the Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller.
