Addressing Song of Achilles | Iliad Book 18

from WINNOW: A Couple’s Close Reading of the Iliad and Odyssey · host Owen and Isabella Gemmer

Book 18 of the Iliad is where we see Achilles's reaction to Patroclus's death. Achilles's reaction is intense and full of grief, but we think that there's more going on here. In this episode we do some investigating into the original Greek text to see what specific words Achilles is using to describe his relationship with Patroclus. Were they friends? Were they comrades? Were they roommates? Watch this episode on YouTube. Listen to Book 19 of the Iliad to be prepared for next week's episode on YouTube. Thank you to Nat Copeland for our theme song.
