The fourth and final episode in our series on Troy: Fall of a City, discussing episodes seven and eight. Thank god.

We repeated a number of things we've been saying all the way along in our final notes in this last episode about Fall of a City, but we hopefully have managed to do so in a clear and synthesized way. Thanks for coming on this four-episode journey with us, and we'll be back in two weeks with, at last, some new material! 

Also, hit us up on Twitter @ClassicallyPod, where we'll be doing a wrap-up thread with some pictures of the absolutely garbage costuming from this show, so that you all can finally see what we've been complaining about.

ONE MINOR CORRECTION: At around 55:55 Julia says "Odysseus arranges", which should have been "Achilles arranges". Sorry about that, folks!

In this episode, we discuss Troy: Fall of a City episodes 4, 5, and 6, and how they handled THE ENTIRE PLOT OF THE ILIAD. Yes, in only three episodes of television. Spoilers: it was pretty bad.

Feat. translation theory, Julia's continued strong opinions about Achilles, and Allison's favourite piece of pottery!

The second part of our four-part series on Troy: Fall of a City, covering episodes two and three of that show. 

It's still bad! But at least we don't have any corrections this week.

The first of a four part series on the Netflix original series Troy: Fall of a City, covering episode one of that show.

Two small corrections to things we said in this episode: first, women did sometimes give birth lying down. Second, there is some evidence to suggest that the Greeks did know about India as early as the Classical period (roughly the 500s BCE), but Alexander was the first substantial contact between the Mediterranean and India.

An optional listening experience for those who are interested in learning a bit more about the hosts.

We discuss our academic and personal backgrounds and some info about what sort of things we're thinking about when we talk about media. Also, there's some waffle about theory.
