Wonderful distillation. (guess I should now go read the poem!) Your discussion makes me think of the song 'Brothers in Arms' by Dire Straits. If you don't know it, the song is 'The lliad' (not literally of course, but in spirit). It is hauntingly beautiful. [sorry, my second rock song reference of the evening.....but really; great songs ARE poetry]
What about the concept of Arete? Surely that has to be a major motivational factor of the characters, given the historical context? I ask, because that is the reason this book has been sitting on my bedstand's "to-read" pile for the last few weeks : )
Suggestion! You should have an affiliate link to the book you’re discussing. 😊 If you can make the channel even slightly profitable you might be able to justify more videos/attention even during the busy times!
