Welcome to WINNOW. Join us, Owen and Isabella Gemmer, as we dive deep into the Iliad and Odyssey one book at a time. This week's episode is all about Book 4 of the Iliad, where we talk about the bow shot heard 'round the world. Menelaus is wounded! The fighting begins! Join us as we discuss Bronze Age warfare and how to understand the greek word "thumos". Who is to blame for this war? And who are we rooting for?
