Summary

Who’s to blame for the Trojan War Horse?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Jamila Webb back to the show to discuss the very dramatic, very dense, very complicated Trojan War and the larger than life Gods whose meddling ways had rather significant influences on the events as they unfolded. They’re joined by Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. They say don’t meet your heroes. Well, what about The Gods? Are they just like us? Were they trying to tell the mortals something or were they just reading into signs too much? And as for The Trojan Horse? Maybe they SHOULD have looked that gift horse in the mouth a little more closely.
