In the debut episode of Hot Takes on the Classics, hosts Tim McIntosh and Emily Maeda delve into one of the greatest war epics ever written, Homer’s Iliad. They discuss the themes of honor, the brutality of war, the intoxicating nature of battle, and the challenges of understanding ancient texts. The episode explores different translations, notable characters, and key plot points, while also touching on how the poem has influenced culture and history. They conclude with a powerful discussion on the importance of liturgy as a counterbalance to the dehumanizing effects of war. The episode aims to make the epic accessible and relevant to modern readers. Listen now ⬇️ https://bit.ly/3BUZake
