Liv Reads the Iliad: Book Ten

Liv reads Book Ten of the Iliad, translated into prose by Samuel Butler. This is not a standard episode, it's simply a reading of the Iliad. For regular episodes look for any that don't have "Liv Reads the..." in the title!

Here's a list Greek to Roman names to help you out:Zeus = Jove/Jupiter

Hera = Juno

Athena = Minerva/Pallas Minerva

Ares = Mars

Aphrodite = Venus (Cyprian goddess); also sometimes her mother is Dione

Poseidon = Neptune

Hades = Pluto

Hermes = Mercury

Kronos = Saturn

Artemis = Diana

Leto = Latona

Odysseus = Ulysses (I think he's the only mortal with a name change, the Romans were weird)

Heracles = Hercules

(Not Latin, but Achaeans/Danaans = Greeks, Argives = from Argos, Ilius = Troy, Dardanian = ally of Troy, Alexandrus = Paris)

Om Podcasten

The most entertaining and enraging stories from mythology told casually, contemporarily, and (let's be honest) sarcastically. Greek and Roman gods did some pretty weird (and awful) things. Liv focuses on Greek and Roman mythology's (mis)treatment of women, the wild things the gods did, and the all around incredible minds of the ancient world. Gods, goddesses, heroes, monsters, and everything in between. Regular episodes every Tuesday, conversations with authors and scholars or readings of ancient epics every Friday.
