@norsemeat We loved having you on! We loved having you on so much we had you on twice -- thank you again for joining us, it was a real pleasure both times

[Scott Rubin (@norsemeat on all social media) @norsemeat]

It's here, it's here, my first guest appearance on the @Homer_Bound podcast! I had a fantastic time discussing books 11 & 12 of the Odyssey, talking about Odysseus talking to dead people, surviving the sirens and Scylla & Charybdis, and more. Greek mythology is awesome ⚔️

New book, new host -- Llama takes the reins, with @DLibatique10 joining for the first episode of the Odyssey! For #Hades2 fans, it'll be a great way to brush up on our favorite (or not so favorite) tactician.

The Iliad part of the podcast is completed...and fully available on Spotify and Youtube! Don't go anywhere, the Odyssey is just around the corner. Special thanks to @DLibatique10 for his expertise and guest appearances!

@FlavianSophist Thank you! And I am -- I was knocked out for almost three weeks, but recovery was full. And thank you again for joining us and talking about Achilles' shield. Incredibly informative episode, we hope you've been faring well!

Due to being swamped with moving/COVID, I couldn't keep up with the episodes. Shouting out this ep with @FlavianSophist, for shedding light on the symbolism of Achilles' new gear, and for being a lovely guest!

@norsemeat @DLibatique10 We enjoyed the whole thing the whole way through -- and we're finally making it to the Odyssey, which is...probably the most well-known of the two poems? At least I remember learning about the Odyssey way before the Iliad.

[Scott Rubin (@norsemeat on all social media) @norsemeat]

The fine folks at @Homer_Bound have finished discussing the Iliad, and it's been a great ride! I love revisiting Homer and listening to fresh perspectives, and @DLibatique10's commentary has been fantastic. Next week they start the Odyssey, so it's a great time to join in!

And by Episode 16, I meant Episode 8 -- Book 16 is so cool I got my numbers mixed up

This episode connects us to #Hades (maybe #Hades2?), where @SupergiantGames gave us a brilliant interpretation of Patroclus and Achilles. With our expert @DLibatique10 as our guest, for analysis on Books 15 & 16!

@sentantiq I'm sure they get plenty of Homer at home!

But yeah, don't be like them

[Homer Bound Podcast @Homer_Bound]

@sentantiq We really appreciate the time you took to record with us! Obviously I recommend everyone listen to every episode, but if you had to choose just one, this would be high on the list of the episodes I'd recommend. The episode with book 16 (episode 8) is also excellent.

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

[a podcast recorded last year with @Homer_Bound]

“Achilles is suffering the same sort of cognitive dissonance as [the audience], trying to make sense of a super messed up world, values we don’t believe in, and what we’re supposed to do with our lives”

[Homer Bound Podcast @Homer_Bound]

@sentantiq It was a long time ago! Two or three years ago, around there. We're certain you've been busy, but we appreciate your time, and re-listening to the episode was a treat. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with us! A great guest for a remarkable book.

Spotify https://t.co/lOMBQGyjWK

We cover one of the Iliad's most important books, so we brought on a special guest, Dr Joel Christensen, at @sentantiq for his insight on Achilles, and Odysseus! Tune in during all those #Hades2 sessions!

[Scott Rubin (@norsemeat on all social media) @norsemeat]

After you listen to this newest episode you can get the rest of Ajax's story with the performance of Sophocles' Ajax by the Homebuddies!

@HistoryNGames It's really eating up our time. We're hoping folks can still take the time to read along with us as we progress through the epics, but no promises here either lol

Spotify https://t.co/lOMBQGyjWK

Happy Mother's Day! We've been so busy playing #Hades2 #HadesII we almost forgot to remind y'all that the new episode is out. Things are finally starting to turn the Trojans' way -- tune in for the full discussion!

#Hades2 #HadesII is finally here! Between fighting shades, watching epic streamers (@haelian2 watchers anyone?), and listening to Darren's sick tunes, stay immersed in Greek myth and listen to our latest episode!

Two of my absolute favorite books in this one! I would be surprised if Diomedes or Hector make it into #Hades2, but one can hope! @JawlessPaul will recognize Book 6!
