Previous Episode: Mini Myth: Orpheus, Chronos & Why You Shouldn’t Try to Figure Out the Chronology of Greek Myths
Next Episode: XXXIV: Return of Achilles, Sort Of (The Iliad Part Seven)

The Trojan War is back and better (not really) than ever! In this episode, we return to the humans affected by the war, the gods are chilling out for a brief moment. There's more of Diomedes' madness, and a delving into a day in the life of Hector, the mostly good guy on the side of the Trojans. Plus! I tell you about how I saw Stephen Fry's Mythos show.
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.
