In this video I provide a summary of Book 24 of Homer's Iliad, explaining the ending of Homer's Iliad in some detail. I focus on the meeting between Priam and Achilles, and the major themes of the poem that are picked up and reexamined in that pivotal exchange. Why doesn't the Trojan Horse appear in Homer's Iliad? How is the return of Hector's body related to the contest over Helen of Troy? How does the death of Patroclus affect Achilles? I address these various questions and explore the Iliad's engagement with mortality, grief, the gods, piety, and hospitality

Thank you so much for the video, I really enjoyed it! I studied the Iliad for A Level about 20 years ago, and it's been so long since I read it.

Glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of my absolute favourites!

"Hope springs eternal in the human breast........... ......"Man Never Is, but always to be blessed....." Professor Moore, how many of us recite the full couplet, I wonder. Thanks for your hopeful message, though. And thanks for the summer 10 weeks.

I have repeatedly watched this video with your amazing scholarly exegesis of the Iliad. I noticed you use the Robert Fagles translation. Maybe you could do a video about why Fagles’ translation is so important. Please keep up the great work.

Thank you so much. That’s very kind of you! Will definitely do more Iliad videos down the line.

Dude i love your videos! I really found your videos on. Foucault interesting! I'm 15 and English is my third language but your videos really help me deeply understand difficult works. But can you make a video about where to start with philosophy? I have tried reading plato then go forward to Aristotle and Descartes from there. So can you make a video about it? I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

That's great! Glad you like them! I did actually make a vide about where to begin when reading philosophy. At the end, I offer some book recommendations. 👉 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-TYwwl4maj2U.html Hope you like it!

The works of the great poet, Homer, are filled with words that not only survive in Albanian, but continue to be used. From Homer you can get not only words, but also phrases that possess all the signs of a typical Albanian expression. If someone were to interpret Homer from the Albanian language perspective, much light would be shed on the works of that famous poet. Between Homeric and Albanian sentences there is a striking resemblance in expression, phraseology and sentence structure. A study of this nature would help interpret Homer, since the Albanian language is older than that of Greece (Science Magazine 2023), much can be learned about the influence of this [Albanian] on Homeric and later Greek.
