The Pillars: Jerusalem, Athens, and the Western MindSaga and Song: An Introduction to Homer and the IliadWe turn our attention now to The Iliad, which is one of the most fundamental texts in western civilization. We’ll discover answers to the following questions: Who was Homer, what is The Iliad, and why are we reading it? How do rage and honor drive the story as much as the gods do? Why are the gods so heavily involved in Homer’s recounting the story of a human war? Recommended Reading: Homer. The Iliad. Trans. Robert Fagles. New York: Penguin, 1990.

Robert Fagles gives a title to this book: The tide of battle turns. Zeus becomes proactive about answering Thetis’ supplication—Achilles will be honored through the slaughter of Achaeans; and so, the Trojans bring the fight to Achaeans in a way that makes the Achaeans deeply feel a need for Achilles so that in Book 9, an embassy will be sent to persuade Achilles to return.

The play is punctuated by bountiful allusions to Virgil's Aeneid. But besides the haunting downfall of the play’s title characters, in the background of the action arises the specter of a new religious creed, Christianity.

Myth in the MojaveHomer’s Odyssey: Book 10 & CirceAt the turning point in his journey, Odysseus and his men land on the island of Aeaea and meet the enchantress Circe. This is my paraphrase of Book 10 of the Odyssey, based on Robert Fagles translation.“They found Circe’s polished stone palace in a clearing. Mountain wolves and lions roamed around the doorway like dogs, bewitched into gentleness by her drugs. They could hear the goddess inside at her loom, weaving beautiful fabrics and singing in an enchanting voice.” Support the show

TROJAN WAR: THE PODCASTEPISODE 13 “TERRIBLE, GLORIOUS WAR”THE STORY: (56 minutes) As Greek and Trojan forces openly clash on the plains of Troy the goddess Athena imbues a Greek warlord – Diomedes – with fearsome, godlike powers of combat. So with the Trojan forces in disarray and on the verge of wholescale panic, Hector decides on an audacious plan to save his army. But can Hector survive his own plan?
THE COMMENTARY: CAN WAR BE BOTH TERRIBLE and GLORIOUS? (17 minutes; begins at 56:00) This post-story commentary examines both the “glorious” and the “terrible” faces of the Trojan War. I first review the arestia of Diomedes, which dominates much of the story in this podcast epis...
