Episode 2: Iliad, Book 1

from Christ and Classics · host Christ and Classics

In this episode of Christ & Classics, Devin and Colton ask why rage takes the center stage in the Iliad. Menelaus rages against Paris. Apollo rages against the Greeks. Agamemnon rages against Achilles. Achilles (especially) rages against Agamemnon. The gods are even angry with one another! What role does anger play within Homer’s epic, and what does it have to do with Zeus’s overarching will seen in the prologue?
