Good Gods, this one took some work. But, good things take work, and this story is Awesome. This is (mostly) the story of the Trojan War, which actually has a lot more to it than the giant wooden horse. there's romance, violence, horrors beyond our modern comprehension, and a lot of dubious involvement of Olympian gods. It's a pretty excellent story, which i tried to make as easily consumable as i could for you, dear listener.

Then there's the relatively hazy story of the Bronze Age Collapse, which is also quite interesting. If it's relatable, it's in a different way than the story of Troy.

All and all, it's about two and a half hours long... So:

Part One: The Absurdly Complex, But Entertaining Backstory, starts at: 7:40

Part Two: Kidnapping Royalty Is A Bad Idea, starts at: 33:55

Part Three: The Trojan War, starts at: 53:17

Part Four: The Only Fate Is Tragedy, starts at: 1:19:24

Part Five: Only A Fool Fights Fair, starts at: 1:42:26

Part Six: The Bronze Age Collapse, starts at: 2:01;50

Yes, it's a long one, but it's a good one, and the season finale of the bronze age. Hope you like it!

With Love,
