In this episode of The Pilgrim’s Interests, Blake Hart dives into the ancient epics that laid the foundation for Western storytelling: Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey. Explore the rage of Achilles, the resilience of Odysseus, and the profound questions these tales wrestle with—heroism, fate, mortality, and the longing for home. Drawing connections to modern storytelling and a biblical worldview, this episode reveals how these epics point us toward the ultimate story of redemption and belonging.
