61- Iliad Part III: Hector and Andromache, Sitting in a Tree
from Autocrat- A Roman History Podcast · host Vince and Cassie
Covering Books VI through VIII of the Iliad today, we learn that it's dangerous to be a charioteer to Hector, as you might end up with a spear in a very tender area... We also see a pause from war as Hector has a quiet moment with his wife and son, and Odysseus gets his ego shattered. Sources for this episode: Homer (1965), The Iliad. Translated by E. V. Rieu.
