The Iliad vs the Odyssey

In this video I summarise Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, analyse theirmajor themes and then compare the two. While the Iliad is the epic of irrational passion where courage is the main fuel in the tank, the Odyssey, however, is the epic of a rational man who is driven by loyalty to his wife and son. To put simply, the Iliad is the epic of physical strength while the Odyssey is the epic of mental endurance. The two epics can give us the picture of before and after when it comes to human agency and rationality.  Support the channel ► Monthly donation with perks on Patreon:   / fictionbeast   ► One-time donation on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/fictionbeast WHERE TO FIND ME: ► Instagram:   / fiction_philosophy   ► E-mail: [email protected] ► Audio Podcast: https://redcircle.com/shows/c101a9a1-... 🕔Time Stamps🕔 00:00 intro 02:03 Homer 05:00 Iliad Summary 15:34 Iliad Analysis 21:07 Odyssey Summary 28:15 Odyssey analysis 32:56 Iliad and Odyssey Compared #theiliad #theodyssey #fictionbeast
