Description

Listen as Victor Davis Hanson explains to his cohost Sami Winc the genesis of Homeric epics from Mycenaean times to the Homeric age post 800 B.C., Homer's revelation of Greek farm life, and then the tragedians of the Greek theater and their tragic hero's. The exploits of Pentheus as a woman in Euripides' "The Bacchae" is worth waiting for.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
