A Modern Day Epic? | Breaking Down the Odyssey, the Aeneid, and the Iliad

Описание: The Odyssey, The Iliad, and The Aeneid. Epic works by Homer and Virgil that need very little introduction. Their Bronze Age stories of Ancient Greece and Rome are penned in the tradition of the Epic Cycle. These poems offer more than just a summary of Greek life. They are intrinsic to understanding the philosophy and faith of the Classical World. Why is it we can't get it right today?

From the Trojan Horse to Book 17, from Achille's song, to the Homeric Galley, welcome to Classics Unraveled with Jon Christianson, a show that puts modern-day media and their classical counterparts side by side and see how they stack up. In this episode we examine poetic epics, their place in a modern context, and what to look for in epics of our own.
