In this episode, we'll take a loot at the climactic events of the Trojan War. The famous duel between Hector and Achilles, what Achilles does once Hector is defeated, how Achilles meets his own downfall when Paris exploits his, well, Achilles' heel, and what role a giant wooden horse plays in all of this.

Plus: What evidence is there for the existence of the city of Troy and how has the Trojan War been depicted in movies and series?

We're back!

This time we'll dive into the nitty gritty of the Trojan War. How the war itself could have been ended after it had barely begun, how the Amazons made even Achilles think twice, and how not to deal with disgruntled warriors. Especially the prideful ones.

Also, we'll talk about the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus and how different times have put their spin on one of the most famous relationships in history.
