In this episode of Elixir, Helen is talking to Richard about an extract from book 22 of the Iliad by Homer.
Richard explains the tale of Achilles, and hones in on the brutality of war which the story portrays. Richard is reminded of the Iliad by the violence he sees in the modern world as a war correspondent. How does Homer's work affect us today? All this and much more in this episode!
