Previous Episode: Homer’s Iliad 2019: Lecture 17: Books 10 Pt. 2 and 11 Pt. 1

Next Episode: Dante's The Divine Comedy 2019: Lecture 15: Cocytus and the Traitors to Family and Country Pt. 1 (Cantos 32-33)

In this lecture, we discuss (a) the mounting injuries of the Achaians (Diomedes, Odysseus, Machaon, Eurypylos); (b) Patroklos' mission to Nestor, and Nestor deploys the full-force of his rhetorical appeals to valor, pity, and honor; and finally we conclude by examining (c) the choice Nestor asks Achilleus to make: return to the fighting or allow Patroklos to wear your armor, and this decision's potential consequences.
