Robertson (me) "The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours" by Gregory Nagy We also go over the introductory lines of the Iliad and the Odyssey and cover some key themes in their original Greek, including: Menis Hero  Kleos Andra Noos Nostos Leave a rating and review, it really helps others to find the podcast.
