S1 E6: Helpers & Monsters: Women Making the Odyssey Possible

  • サマリー

  • Can Odysseus even HAVE an Odyssey without female characters to help him, terrorize him, and sometimes both? Join Sonja and Vanessa as their guest, classics scholar Amy Meyers, dishes on Scylla, the Sirens, and the intimidating goddess, Athena. Like an arrow through a dozen axe holes lined up, Homer’s male hero shoots through the decidedly feminine architecture of his labyrinthian odyssey.


    Sources mentioned:

    The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Emily Wilson

    The Odyssey by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles
