Episode 61 - The Iliad Pt. 2: Daddy Issues

Get ready to laugh your way through Homer's epic poem, The Iliad, as our hosts, Kevin and Spencer, tackle chapters 4 through 8. Join us for a hilarious deep dive into the world of Greek gods, mythical heroes, and epic battles.

In this episode, we'll explore the comedic side of Achilles' anger, the hilarious antics of Agamemnon, and the absurdly dramatic showdown between the Greeks and Trojans. From Zeus's love life to Hector's heroic (and sometimes hilariously misguided) actions, we'll find the humor in even the most tragic of tales.

So, grab your favorite beverage and get ready for a side-splitting journey through ancient Greece. Remember, it's not just a war, it's a comedy!
