Episode 7 | Iliad, Book 6 (feat. Ben House)

Why can we arguably consider Hector, captain of the Trojans, to be a “Hero of Heroes” in Homer’s Iliad? How do his manly characteristics compare with that of Paris, or even the legendary Achilles? Why does glory and honor drive Hector back into the battlefield away from his precious wife and infant son? And how can this scene between Hector and Andromache simultaneously be both tragic and beautiful? Colton and special guest Ben House attempt to answer these questions on Episode 7: Iliad, Book 6. You can find Ben's writings in a few places!
