Episode 31 - Dr. Emily Austin

Dr. Emily Austin, an assistant professor of Classics at the University of Chicago, joins Lexie to take a deep dive into which Homeric poem translations are the best, examine emotions in Homer, discuss whether Vergil’s Aeneid is really just bad Homer fanfic, and debate what silly scene from the Iliad or Odyssey she would like to see adapted to the screen. So tuck in your togas and hop aboard Trireme Transit for this week’s exciting odyssey!
