October 09, 2023 113. The Iliad of Homer, Part 5: Books 13-17
As a slight chill permeates the Texas air as the guys discuss the themes, characters, and action in books 13-17 of the Iliad. Featuring: Patroclus' death, Achilles partially rejected prayer, Star Wars: The Last Jedi references, Cooper's mom as the remnant of the Trojan war, liturgy, extended metaphors, Hera swearing by her marriage bed, godlike middle children, and, inconceivably, an Achaian General being an actual boss.

October 06, 2023 112. The Iliad of Homer, Part 4: Books 9-12
After sarcastically summarizing the four books, the guys launch into a discussion led by Bryson on books 9-12 of the Iliad. How do signs affect our lives? Who is the best leader in the Iliad? Is Hector really likable, or is his glory selfish? All these questions, plus much more, all found here!

October 02, 2023 111. The Iliad of Homer, Part 3: Books 5-8
How does Homer make Hektor more likeable? What insights can Helen give us about Paris? Speaking of, will he do anything? Is the Iliad pro kleos-warrior-ethic? Men hurt the gods, the gods hurt men, men kill and are killed, and somehow we have an utterly compelling, beautiful, scene between man and wife and child. Plus a freebie show idea which may or may not include the clone wars narrator. It's the Iliad!

Like eager thwaps (iykyk), the gang gathers gleefully to discuss the first book of the Wingfeather Saga!

Come, sit by the fire, put in some earbuds, and discover the joy to be had reading On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness.

September 18, 2023 109. The Iliad of Homer, Part 2: Books 1-4
The guys convene again to start discussing a classic of ancient literature. The topics of conversation include: in what ways does Agamemnon stink as a leader? (Hint: in all of them. All the ways) Does Achilles overreact to the dishonor done to him with his pity-party? What's going on with the gods' pettiness? Is Paris...? Does he...? Well, you'll see.

August 21, 2023 105. Theogony, Part 1: Why Read the Pagan Classics?
This isn't your mama's Genesis. The ancient Greek, Hesiod, writes in this poem concerning the origin of the Titans, gods, and other beings--and it's not pretty. So why would Christians want to read this? Listen to hear the guys talk through it. Part 2 next week!
