Customer Reviews
The feast is worth perpetuating.
Thank you for tackling the Iliad Let’s keep the feast going. Love this series.
Beowulf? Gilgamesh? Hesiod? What is the next course? My intellectual appetite is ready!
Great for even those who aren't so sure about Homer
I studied Homer in college, and I must admit, I was not a fan. This podcast has given me a glimpse into why people think Homor is so great. Even if you don't understand everything they discuss, it's hard not to develop at least a curiousity for the Odyssey and the Illiad. This summer, twenty-some years after graduating from college, I revisited the Odyssey and loved it. Many great thanks for this podcast!
A true feast
Absolutely love this podcast. I now have a drive to consume Homer. This whets the appetite.
