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!
