Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this episode, we cover Book VII of Hektor's "Iliad". We watch (a) the negotiations of the gods, (b) one-on-one combat between Aias the Greater and Hektor, and (c) the crooked negotiations of the Achaians. We then take a few minutes to analyze the (a) bronze on Aias' shield, (b) Agamemnon's improving leadership, and (c) how betrayal begets dishonesty. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
