In Episode 35 of the All Roads Podcast, hosts Dr. Sam Kindick and Sam Hahn discuss Book Six of Homer's Iliad, focusing on Hector's emotional reunion with his wife and son. They explore the significance of Hector's prayer for his son's success and the broader themes of war, heroism, and the impact of the battlefield on personal relationships. The conversation also delves into the Greeks' advantage over the Trojans, the Trojans' desperate attempts to appease Athena, and the symbolic exchange of armor between Diomedes and Glaucus.
Note: we are using Emily Wilson's 2023 translation of the Iliad.
