It's the conclusion of our show-within-a-show dedicated to Emily Wilson's new translation of Homer's The Iliad. We read it a few books at a time and had a more in-depth chat about it than we do about most books. This episode covers Books 20-24.
Episode 09: Everybody's "favorite" guy Achillies is finally back on the battlefield! The gods want this to go smoothly, so they step into the fray themselves. But Achilles isn't sparing ANYONE. Even a nearby river is getting messed up! Then we are finally given the main event: Achilles v. Hector. And wouldn't you know, another hero bites the dust.
Episode 10: The grand finale of Stop! Homer Time and of the Iliad itself. First, some big boys play some small games, and then two sworn enemies briefly share a moment of grief and admiration, even as their eventual doom hangs over them both.
