Episode 41a - The Odyssey, Part One

Save Me From My Shelf

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. Sing, O Muse!, of our forty-first episode, the first twelve books of Homer's The Odyssey (circa 800 BC). Sing, of oil baths and endless sobbing! Sing, of sex and monsters and sex-monsters! Sing, of potty-humour and MILF Manor! Sing, of two exhausted academics who pinball from Olympus to Hades and all around the Aegean.
