Way to break the mold: Eurypylus doesn’t rise and die in a single chapter. And talks some good smack too 👏🏻

Yo. If Achilles dies in the third book, what’s supposed to happen in the remaining 13? Honestly he may be mad if his funeral / subsequent revelries don’t last as long as those for Patroclus or Hector. Since Thetus got Zeus to make Achilles a demi-god, does that mean we’d get an Achilles-Apollo rematch??

Todd has launched us straight into the Fall of Troy, written by a single author 1000 years after Homer’s compilation of The Iliad. In the narrator’s words… Greek fan fiction. 😆 This translation is more archaic than what we recently listened to, so it took some time to adjust. Odd accent choices for character voices 😅
