It's part four of the Trojan War/Iliad series! In this episode we cover the wrath of Diomedes (he's nuts) and his encounters with Aeneas, Aphrodite, Athena, and Apollo. It's a gory and god-filled episode, friends!
A general mythology warning: far too many Greek myths involve assaulting women. I'm sorry, that's just the way it is. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.
Sources: The Iliad, translated by Stephen Mitchell and The Greek Myths by Robin Waterfield.
