  • Achilles, Alexander, and Darrow

    Achilles, Alexander, and Darrow
    2026/10/29
    In this episode of Greek Mythology Retold, I dive into Homer's Achilles, Alexander the Great, and Darrow from Pierce Brown's Red Rising saga. From Alexander's near-fatal assault at the Mallian siege to Achilles' devastating withdrawal from the Trojan War and Darrow's ruthless decisions, I explore what makes these men so fascinating.

    I'll also share a scene from my epic fantasy series, The Homeric Chronicles, in which Achilles' brutality during the siege of Methymna creates a rift between him and Patrokles.

    Why are we drawn to warriors whose greatest strengths may also be their greatest flaws? And why do I think Pierce Brown might just be the 21st-century Homer? There's much to discuss.

    Spoiler warning: This episode discusses major events from the Red Rising saga.

  • Epic Women of Homer: An Interview with Dr. Eirene Allen

    Epic Women of Homer: An Interview with Dr. Eirene Allen
    2026/09/14
    In this episode of Greek Mythology Retold, I sit down with classicist and author Dr. Eirene Allen to discuss her book The Epic Women of Homer. We explore the women at the heart of the Iliad and Odyssey, including Penelope, Helen, Andromache, and Briseis and the different forms of power Homer gives them.

    Are these women truly secondary to the heroes, or have modern readers simply overlooked the ways women wield power in Homer’s world? Join me for a fascinating conversation about women, war, survival, memory, and the enduring power of Homer’s epic women.

  • The Hero and The Man: An Interview with C. B. Robertson

    The Hero and The Man: An Interview with C. B. Robertson
    2026/06/11
    In this episode, I chat with Christopher Robertson, known online as Caffeine and Philosophy, about Homer, heroism, and why the ancient epics still matter in the modern world. As the author of The Hero and the Man and creator of the new course Understanding Homer, Christopher explores the timeless archetypes found in the Iliad and the Odyssey, the enduring legacy of Achilles and Odysseus, and the lessons Homer offers about courage, suffering, honor, and what it means to be human.

    Why have these stories survived for nearly three thousand years? What can modern readers learn from the heroes of ancient Greece? And why does Homer continue to shape literature, philosophy, and culture long after the Bronze Age has faded into history?

    Whether you're a lifelong lover of Greek mythology, a student of Homer, or simply curious about the power of great stories, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the poet who helped shape Western civilization.
