Summary

Liv speaks with Laura Jenkinson Brown of Greek Myth Comix all about the heroes of epic, breaking down the good and the bad of Achilles, Odysseus, and Aeneas. Follow Laura on Twitter or visit her website greekmythcomix.com.

the Elliott Odyssey and then the Ineid, even though obviously that's not Homeric, but

1:28.2

you know, it's close enough.

1:30.3

We set out to talk about some of those heroes, their flaws, their stories, just everything

1:35.6

about them, because Homeric heroes are both of our thing.
