The Iliad by Homer | Characters 

I don't know if anyone checks these comments, but I just want to say: thank you for making these videos. Very concise and informative, with excellent presentation.

02:47 "Patroclus is Achilles' closest friend and comrade in arms, making them nearly brothers and very close." Translation to English: *boyfriends*

I am currently reading Alexander Pope's translation of The Iliad. All of these videos have been extremely helpful in assisting my comprehension. Thank you Course Hero!

cool

Who’s here after the song of Achilles so you don’t mispronounce any characters’ names in your head
