Another duel where no one dies | Iliad Book 7
This week's episode is all about Book 7 of the Iliad, where we break down another duel where no one dies. It's Hector vs. Ajax, but it ends in a draw. Why do they agree to halt the duel? In many ways this book is all about resetting the stage. The sun goes down and the dead are collected. Plus, Bella proposes the tile conspiracy theory. Did Ajax really get chosen at random?
Listen to Book 8 of the Iliad to be prepared for the next episode on YouTube.
