We embark on our journey through Homer’s “Iliad,” humanity’s longest surviving poem on war.
We ask “why is human rage a good subject for a war poem, and not the wrath of gods?”
You can ask us questions on our pod by emailing us at combatandclassics.org and follow us on social media @combatandclassics.
Combat and Classics is a series of podcasts and online seminars that explores the nature of man in conflict and cooperation through socratic dialogue and the great books. For more info visit
