Episode 41b - The Odyssey, Part Two

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In the second half of our forty-first episode, we cover the last twelve books of Homer's The Odyssey (circa 800 BC). It's a delicious world, full of roast goat stomach, pig spine, and onion-peel cloaks. It's a sexy world, with plenty of Groundskeeper Willy nudity. It's an emotional world, full of crying naps and rage murder. And above all, it's a man's world, with some of the strongest misogyny we've seen so far.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode Theme: Γκάιντα Ναούσης 1498 (Wikimedia Commons) Hosted on Acast.
