The Odyssey Odyssey
12 - "Rosie, You're All Right"
IN WHICH we explore the most repeated poetic line in all of the Odyssey and learn the tragic story of Eos, goddess of the dawn, who kindled the wrath of Aphrodite and was cursed ever after to a life of unrequited lust. Ouch.
Also, we delve into the misty past of the great citadel of Troy and learn how gods helped to create it, and to (almost) destroy it.
