Summary

Oh Muses! Help us continue you the tale of Odysseus trying to make his way home from the ruins of Troy. In this episode we encounter upsetting pig facts, still-mooing beef, the burdens of leadership, hungry sea monsters, and that feeling you get when one of your sailors die? But you didn’t know he was dead? And you summon a ghost from the Underworld, but instead of the ghost you summon it’s your dead sailor who you didn’t know was dead? But now you have to talk to him? And he really lets you have it for letting everyone die? —- Check out the Greeking Out book!
