Sinopsis

In this lecture, we (a) introduce Diomedes and Athene's desire to use him to remove the dangerous and exasperating Aphrodite from the battlefield; (b) we distinguish the concepts of tīmḗ  (honor) and kleos (glory; that which is said of one; one's legend) and geras (physical rewards, like Briseis), and (c) considered (1) the amorality of the Olympian gods as well as (2) the theme that when: (a) a minor character (like Pandaros) injures a major character (like Menelaos or Diomedes), then (b) that minor character will be killed, generally by a major character. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
