YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDid the wrath of Achilles just fall out of a coconut tree? Or does it exist in the context of all that came before? To really understand the poem, you have to understand--and internalize--what it means to live in an honor culture, and to seek justice in a universe that makes no guarantees. After listening to this episode you can understand the story of the poem as it was meant to be understood, rather than letting petty modern ideologues set the terms of interpretation.
