234 Adding Color to What Is Black & White

AMDG. The Humanities Series is back! Join Bonnie, Jordan, and Steven for the grand finale of The Iliad. This episode covers everything you need to know about The Iliad, from the significance of burying the dead to the role of women in the Ancient World. The team breaks down the answers to complex questions, like what the afterlife meant to the Greeks and the deeper meaning behind Achilles’ shield. Each topic starts with a synopsis, so you can follow along even if you have not read The Iliad before. Finally, don’t miss the unexpected connection between The Book of Job, J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, and The Iliad!
