I watched halfway and had to stop because there were too many good points to miss. So here I am with a pen and pad. You have profound understanding of this text and I'm glad to be here for it.
That part at 55:23 was really insightful. I was always looking at the Gods' interactions from the perspective of mortals instead of immortals with infinte time in their hands.
I loved your first video of the intro. This one I'm having more problems. The list of characters I need to get more familiar with. This first book is so important. I like your style of explanation. My bad. Need to study up. Thanks.
Thank you for listening! The texts themselves only exist in fragmentary form these days, but I do have a lecture on them in the following three places: 1) anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/episodes/Homers-Iliad-2019-Lecture-1-The-Causes-of-the-Trojan-War-Pt--1-e4v87i, 2) anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/episodes/Homers-Iliad-2019-Lecture-2-The-Causes-of-the-Trojan-War-Pt--2-e4vmel and 3) anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/episodes/Lecture-1-Introduction-to-Homers-Odyssey-The-Time-between-Homers-Iliad-and-Odyssey-e8rm52/a-a10gajs
I’ve just listened to the first part and found it really helpful to understand the context of this story! Is this available as an audio only format/podcast outside of youtube?
@@alexandereliotschmid this is the best news! Listening to the first part alone has already been tremendously helpful! Looking forward to the rest of the lecture series!
Yes, in the Richmond Lattimore translation which I taught from, the name is spelled "Achilleus," (transliterated from the original Ancient Greek) and is pronounced AKH-I-LLEUS.

I'm reading the book as I listen to your podcast. Great podcast.
Quality content right here. Kudos to you, my man.
Its almost criminal that content like this is not more popular.

Amazing cours. Sorry i am not native speaker what is word you are using to name Greeks?
Thank you for listening! There are three names by which the "Greeks" are referred to in Homer's "Iliad:" Achaeans, Danaans, and Argives.
Your pronunciation of Achilles? Is "achalayis"??
Yes, in the Richmond Lattimore translation which I taught from, the name is spelled "Achilleus," (transliterated from the original Ancient Greek) and is pronounced AKH-I-LLEUS.
Damn. I used to say UCK-EIL-EES
