Conversations: Not the Glory of War, but the Horror of it... The Iliad (kind of) w/ Joel Christensen
Manage episode 498946900 series 2021319
Newsflash: the Iliad is an anti-war epic. Liv and Michaela speak with returning guest Joel Christensen about (ostensibly!) the Iliad, all the reasons it's NOT a pro-war epic, and why empathy is VITAL to humanity, not a bug. NOTE: this episode was recorded a few months ago and discusses the g-cide in Palestine and other Western war [crimes]. Submit your question for the next Q&A via email or a voice note.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. I try to provide direct warnings when there is reference to anything with overtly traumatic themes but be aware that Greek mythology regularly features assault, death, and many other potentially triggering events.
