Alexander Schmid Podcast

In Episode 011, we consider three major symbols in Homer's Iliad Book II: (1) proper use of speech, (2) the scepter of the king, (3) the sparrow and the snake.

In episode 010, I lecture on Homer's Book II: Agamemnon's Evil Dream, Nestor, Agamemnon's failed pump-up speech, Odysseus' fixing the situation, Thersites, and the Catalog of Ships

In this episode, I account for the second half of the Iliad: Achilleus and Agamemnon argue; Achilleus leaves the war effort; Briseis is taken; Thetis requests of Zeus for Achilleus; Drama in Heaven between Zeus and Hera and Hephaistos mediates.

In this episode, I discuss the initial conflict which occurs between the two major Achaian champions: Achilleus and Agamemnon.

In Episode 007, we provide an introduction to Homer's Iliad.

In Episode 006 I consider representations of "safe-spaces" in art both ancient and modern and relate the concept of the safe space to the social contract and individual inequality.
