Homeric Epic Podcast - Episode 4: Iliad Book 3

Description: In this episode of the Homeric Epic Podcast, we cover book 3 of the Iliad, and a possible conclusion to the Trojan war; the duel between Menelaus and Paris, winner-takes the beautiful Helen.

Homeric Epic Podcast - Episode 7: Iliad Book 6

Release Date: 02/04/2024

Description: In the 7th episode of the Homeric Epic Podcast, we delve into the life of Hector: The Mortal Man. As Hector returns briefly to Troy we are given a glimpse inside the doomed city, and inside the life of the doomed hero. Book 6 is one of the more thematically self consistent books of the Iliad, and I attempt to highlight how seemingly small moments in the beginning are meant to frame the big emotional moments later on in the book.

Homeric Hymns, Epigrams, and The Battle of Frogs and Mice by Homer

Release Date: 11/22/2021

Authors: Loyal Books

Description: Homeric Hymns are thirty-three poems each paying homage to a certain Greek god. Only a few of the poems are more than 250 lines while the rest are about a dozen lines each. They are written in Homeric style and traditionally attributed to Homer but their true provenance is unknown. The Epigrams are a series of fragments on disparate topics including sailors, children and potters and are similarly attributed to Homer although it appears Hesiod and others wrote some of them. Finally, Battle of Frogs and Mice is a light-weight parody -- literally, at one-fiftieth the number of lines -- of Homer's famous battle of Greeks and Trojans epic, Illiad.
